Octokit.NET VS linguist

I'm testing out GitHub's Octokit for the first time (so ignore the magic strings in my code). I immediately hit a weird problem, where awaiting an Octokit function would just hang indefinitely - no return, no exception.

To interact with the GitHub API, let's install the Octokit.NET library with dotnet add package Octokit, then instantiate a client as simply as:

Does Octokit do what you want? https://github.com/octokit/octokit.net

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...

There’s already a draft pr for this: https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/pull/6686

GitHub uses Linguist to

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.

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

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 🪄.
