The override works perfectly: ➜ git init test
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/lildude/Downloads/trash/test/.git/
➜ cd test
➜ echo "<html>" > foo.html
➜ git add foo.html
➜ git commit -m 'Add foo'
[main (root-commit) a6c2adb] Add foo
1 file changed, 1 insertion( )
create mode 100644 foo.html
➜ github-linguist .
100.00% 7 HTML
➜ echo "foo.html linguist-documentation" > .gitattributes
➜ git add .gitattributes # ‼️
➜ git commit -m 'Add override' # ‼️ You probably missed these steps
[main 20b5373] Add override
1 file changed, 1 insertion( )
create mode 100644 .gitattributes

If I may ask, why do you have to write it without a dash? Is that a mistake in the documentation? |

The dash negates the option. |

Describe the bug
I have two relevant files in my project root:
foo.htmland.gitattributes. I want to excludefoo.htmlfrom the linguist's calculation. In.gitattributesI tried doing the following:In the latter case, when I run
git check-attr linguist-documentation foo.htmlit says the attribute is set to true. In neither cases, however, is HTML excluded from linguist's report, i.e. I get the same result with or without the addition of.gitattributesfile.Expected behaviour
HTML should be excluded from the report.
Related discussion
