No such issue with other repos e.g., java -jar RepoSense.jar --repos https://github.com/teammates/teammates.git --view image

I believe this is a result of placing a default config json file that Reposense (referring to this remote repo) has in https://github.com/reposense/RepoSense/blob/master/_reposense/config.json. The default analysis configuration will be taken from there. The CLI flag to disable this should be -i.

@chan-j-d Thanks for the quick diagnosis. If the file is not being used, best to remove it (preferred). Otherwise the example command in this UG page needs to change (use a different repo for the example?)

I'm in favor of removing it and I think it may be good to repurpose one of the test repos to test this instead and remove this file from this repo. It may a bit weird for users, especially new contributors to try running reposense against itself and not understanding why it's outputting what it is.
