beef files detected as HyPhy or brainfuck #5066

Closed C34A closed 3 years ago

C34A commented 4 years ago

Problem Description

Any file ending in .bf seems to get marked as HyPhy or brainfuck, usually incorrectly. This primarily affects beef repos, but I was able to find this repo containing code in something called befunge which is also affected, though this matters more for beef.

URL of the affected repository:

every beef repo as far as I can tell. for example: https://github.com/beefytech/beef https://github.com/MineGame159/glfw-beef https://github.com/qzole/imgui-beef

Expected language:

Detected language:

HyPhy or brainfuck

This would be because Linguist doesn't know about Beef and only associates the .bf extension with HyPhy or brainfuck.

In order for your files to be identified as beef, Linguist would need to be taught all about it. It the .bf extension for Beef is sufficiently popular for inclusion (see the CONTRIBUTING.md file), we'd appreciate a pull request to add support.

Usage seems to check out; keyword using gives just under 3K results. Will make a PR.
