How to stop showing "others" and show exact count %?

[siduck]

I have some shell scripts & css code which should be showing here but it shows "others"

Then I thought maybe its due to the languages being less than 1%

but on many repos I've seen lang count below 1% , like this

My repo https://github.com/hazeui/haze-ui

Tokei shows languages properly!

How to stop showing "others" and show exact count %?

You can't. This is what GitHub does, not Linguist, in certain situations. The most common is if there is two or more languages with less than 1% by bytes of code. The next is if a repo contains more than 7 languages. The six largest languages take the first six spots with everything else bundled into "Other".

Your repo has nine languages:

$ github-linguist haze-ui/
28.35%  37109      Svelte
26.10%  34161      TypeScript
14.93%  19535      Vue
12.10%  15841      JavaScript
6.48%   8480       Lua
5.46%   7146       MDX
2.61%   3413       HTML
2.23%   2922       CSS
1.74%   2272       Shell
$

… so the first six are shown and the last three are bundled together to "Other". There is no way to prevent this other than reducing the number of languages or use overrides, as it's a GitHub design decision and outside of Linguist's control.

This was previously discussed in #5429

@lildude yes i know this, but even the 0.1% shows here :(

That's because there are only 6 languages in the repo with only 1 less than 1%. If there were two or more languages less than 1%, they'd be grouped into "Other".

got it. does the link preview image also use linguist under the hood? Cuz it has all the languages shown

for example :

does the link preview image also use linguist under the hood?

Yes, indirectly. Once again, this is a GitHub design decision and not something Linguist has direct control over. Linguist just provides the stats, and the different areas have made different decisions on how to use and display that information.

@lildude what about this one? has 7 langs!

[SuperHero2010]

It might depend on the percentage of languages, it might depend on the number of files. Having 7 languages ​​is perfectly normal, it's just that the LUA language is big, the rest are smaller, maybe they're enough and still show up without being put in the "Other" category
