GitHub linguist override?

[maelle]

👋 @rorynolan! GitHub linguist classifies your repo as html. You could create a .gitattributesfile at the root cf https://github.com/jeroen/jsonlite/blob/a68e1d46e2ae6450cd46c12be0e32fd66d12a90c/.gitattributes#L1 :-) (only a suggestion!)

Hi @maelle,
Thanks for the suggestion! I've been wondering how to do this for a while. I find the GitHub linguist thing super confusing. To me, *.html linguist-documentation=true seems upon first reading to be something that should encourage linguist to recognise the repo as HTML.
Anyway I've done this for ijtiff now (cab64a2) and I've gone on a binge of doing it for all of my repos.
Thanks again,
Rory

I agree about the syntax being confusing, it actually took me weeks from "it'd be nice to" to "doing" 😂. Thank you for being so reactive!
