I cannot get github-linguist to play nicely to save my life

[ghost]

I tried vendoring JS code, does not work. Tried this:

.gitattributes:

alexhultman@alexhultman-N56VZ:~/uWebSockets.js$ cat .gitattributes
*.js linguist-language=C++

Get this classification:

alexhultman@alexhultman-N56VZ:~/uWebSockets.js$ github-linguist
78.13%  C++
15.02%  JavaScript
3.93%   Makefile
2.92%   QMake

Makes no sense

What's wrong with the template we provide when opening an issue? 😭 Your question is answered in the documentation referenced in the first four points.

Assuming you've committed your .gitattributes to the repo, your output shows it is forcing all .js files to be identified as C++ and not vendored so the analysis makes perfect sense 😄.

Point three in the template:

• [ ] considered implementing an override

... has the answer you're looking for vendoring 😉.

Your link to overrides points to the very section of the documentation I have followed like a slave in 8 different commits and locally, to no success.

Override section includes what I have in my issue comment

What about like you've done before: https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets.js/blob/master/.gitattributes ?

That's where I started.

alexhultman@alexhultman-N56VZ:~/uWebSockets.js$ ls -a | grep .gitattributes
.gitattributes
alexhultman@alexhultman-N56VZ:~/uWebSockets.js$ cat .gitattributes 
*.js linguist-vendored
alexhultman@alexhultman-N56VZ:~/uWebSockets.js$ github-linguist
78.13%  C++
15.02%  JavaScript
3.93%   Makefile
2.92%   QMake

Works for me:

When it works it works. Thanks. My local github-linguist still won't move an inch.
