Normally you can see on top right what your project exists of, how much % PHP, how much % JS etc..

On my current project this is not visible, I have tried removing and adding it again on Github but without luck. It was originally forked from another repo, but that repo doesn't exist anymore now.

  • that is odd. if you look at your list of repos it sees Devine-Basic as a php project. github uses the linguist library to automatically determine this information. here's some info on the github blog about that: https://github.com/blog/1037-highlighting-repository-languages – xero Jan 03 '13 at 16:24
  • Yes it is weird indeed, I would love to fix it without losing my commits. – wouterds Jan 03 '13 at 16:40
  • im not really sure what to suggest. i would bring it up to the github support staff :: https://help.github.com/articles/my-repo-is-marked-as-the-wrong-language they have helped me with a few different site-specific problems in the past, they're fast are friendly. – xero Jan 03 '13 at 16:44
  • If I am not mistaken it takes some time until your repo is "parsed". Your repo was created 2 days ago. so don't worry it will show up in a while ;-) – Jimmy Kane Jan 03 '13 at 17:19
  • @JimmyKane When I copy the files and initialise it as new repo and publish it on Github it does show the linguist on that repo (https://github.com/WouterDS/Test--Devine-Basic-copied) But the problem is that I don't want to lose the current commits on the current repo – wouterds Jan 03 '13 at 17:24
  • Yes now it works for your repo as well!!!! https://github.com/WouterDS/Devine-Basic – Jimmy Kane Jan 03 '13 at 17:25
  • Wth, it does work indeed now. – wouterds Jan 03 '13 at 17:26

Mailed the Github support (they've fixed it). They were having caching issues apparently.

Their response:

Hi Wouter,

Sorry about that. It was a caching issue on our end. I've gone ahead and fixed that, and the languages graph is now showing up.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Cheers, Steve
