Introduction:
We all know that Xamarin.Forms programming language is "C#". But I was struggling to get my GitHub repository to show my Xamarin.Forms project as “C#” and not as Java/other language. If you have this same problem, this article can teach you about "how to manually change GitHub repository language for xamarin.forms project to Csharp Language".
Description:
GitHub uses the open source Linguist library to determine file languages for syntax highlighting and repository statistics. Language statistics will update after you push changes to your default branch (which is usually master).
Some files are hard to identify, and sometimes projects contain more library and vendor files than their primary code.
Your Xamarin.Forms project source code may have this complexity, Github to identify primary language as Csharp. So we have to change it manually with below few steps.
Step 1: Open your Github repository
Step 2: Add a new file named .gitattributes at the root level, to your master branch in your repository.
Add the below lines to the file:
*.csharp linguist-detectable=true
*.java linguist-detectable=false
*.js linguist-detectable=false
*.html linguist-detectable=false
*.xml linguist-detectable=false
