Who invented file extensions in file names?
https://www.darwinsys.com/file/
This is the authors website. Apparently yeah its not part of GNU utils, I had no idea, I knew it came with most Linux systems so I looked for the Debian package and found the site linked above.

How do I make a transparent background on .ps or .eps file imported to groff
in installations of Linux, file is a command to retrieve some basic information about a file type. Because contrasting to the organization of Windows, the file extension in Linux can be less important for the file's use (even irrelevant), than the actual content.

Why does Linux file command shows java file as C++ source?
In this case, it's hitting this set of rules. I would guess it hits both class and public.

How many “encodings” are there?
But I don't think this is what you meant. I think your question is something more like: how many file formats are there? The Unix file command recognizes several thousand, and Wikipedia has a list. Of course these are only the most common, and it's hard to delineate what counts as a unique file format. (Is YAML one file format or millions?)

Can I change the mime type of OGG Vorbis and Opus files without re-encoding them?
The magic number for all ogg files is the same (OggS) and files magic file looks like it decides the mime type based on the codecs used in the file. However, it looks like application/ogg is used only if the file contains Kate (Karaoke and Text) content.

I dunno if this interests you, but you actually have influence over the formatting of https://github.com/someengineering/fix-cf/blob/main/fix-role... via .gitattributes communicating to GH that it's actually yaml: https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/master/docs...

I have found that: https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md, but I'm also currently not at home, so I will check it out later.

What is the proper language markup type we should use for a MakeFile code snippet?
Another option is to use Linguist which is what GitHub uses (I use linguist via .gitattributes files for all of my code projects). It is community driven and supports essentially every language possible: see languages.yml.

Once you selected a topic you can further filter the projects by language. This means programming language as recognized by the linguist tool of GitHub. See what they say about repository languages

Track my coding progress on GitHub with a .NET Worker Service
As I later found out, GitHub uses the Linguist library to measure the amount of lines written in a specific language... which is still pretty magic 🪄.
