Showing half my repository is assembly with no asm files anywhere.

[ofluffydev]

I originally asked about this here

I am working on Rust code for an operating system, and there is some inline assembly present, but it's showing almost half the repository is assembly, with the rest being Rust + Makefile. When you click assembly to show the relevant files, nothing is shown. My only guess is any inline assembly marks the entire file as assembly for some reason, not too sure how linguist works internally.

This is the repository in question
ofluffydev/boykisser-os

not too sure how linguist works internally.

We've got a doc for that 😉

When you click assembly to show the relevant files, nothing is shown.

🤔 I get one file: boykernel/spleen-2.1.0/dos/spleen.asm.

So why is this showing so high? This line from the doc I've just referenced:

The percentages are calculated based on the bytes of code for each language as reported by the List Languages API.

➜ github-linguist --breakdown boykisser-os/
55.45%  58140      Assembly
35.25%  36956      Rust
5.80%   6078       Makefile
3.51%   3679       C

[...]

Assembly:
boykernel/spleen-2.1.0/dos/spleen.asm

[...]

This one file is larger by bytes of code than all the Rust in the repo put together.

This doesn't look like a file you've written yourself so you probably want to consider using an override to mark this file as vendored.

I'll just gitignore that folder or sub module it, I didn't think that had any it's supposed to be fonts. but thanks, I got confused because my search just doesn't show those for some reason.
