github - Is it possible to exclude files from git language statistics?

Question

Silly question and not on something that is so necessary, but is it possible to exclude files from git language statistics aggregation on top?

I have checked some external CSS and JavaScript frameworks so that they can be compressed along with the rest of the source code. They get measured as part of the project, but they have not been contributed from a team member so the status bar does not exactly reflect the truth.

Answer 1

GitHub uses the Linguist library for source code detection; Linguist treats all of the paths defined in its' vendor.yml as vendored and won't include them in the language statistics for a repository.

You can specify something different for your repo by editing your repo's .gitattributes file. To treat a path as a vendored file, add the path followed by linguist-vendored:

special-vendored-path/* linguist-vendored

To treat an otherwise vendored path as unvendored, use linguist-vendored=false:

jquery.js linguist-vendored=false
