Linguist Documentation not working in github?

Question

I recently studied about .gitattributes specifically linguist-documentation and this problem But it does not work for me in this repo. It still counts HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. Any suggestion to solve this ?

My .gitattributes File

artcpp/docs/** linguist-documentation
artjava/docs/** linguist-documentation

Thanks.

Answer 1

That .gitattributes works fine. The issue is that you have a lot of other HTML files under artjava/target/site/apidocs/. See the full Linguist breakdown below.
