GitHub was incorrectly identifying the Shimmy repository as a "Makefile" project instead of "Rust" due to the overwhelming number of build-generated dependency files. The Rust build system creates 530+
.d
files with Makefile syntax that were dominating GitHub's language detection algorithm, despite the repository containing 57 actual Rust source files.This PR adds a
.gitattributes
file that:*.rs
files aslinguist-detectable=true
*.d
dependency files and Makefile variants aslinguist-detectable=false
target/
,Cargo.lock
, and profiling data aslinguist-generated=true
.toml
,.yml
, and.yaml
files detectableThe configuration has been tested with
git check-attr
to ensure proper pattern matching, and the project continues to build successfully. This follows Git linguist best practices for language override and addresses the core issue with minimal changes.Fixes #55.
