Unknown language: "B4X" · github-linguist linguist · Discussion #7033

This is a known issue due to the fact GitHub's Search and Linguist are not tightly linked... Search lags behind Linguist.

Support for B4X was added in Linguist v8.0.0 released on Monday and this is why I always add this not to the release PRs like #7021:

NOTE: Search results will not reflect changes and new lanuguages until the upstream internal library is updated to pull in the changes from this release and that then deployed to GitHub's Search.

I have updated all my B4X repos on GitHub.
I am using the attached .gitatrributes file (remove .txt file extension before use).
Adapt to your needs (Delete any lines). Cheers!

.gitattributes: 
# Auto detect text files and perform LF normalization
* text=auto

# linguist-language
*.b4a linguist-language=B4X
*.b4i linguist-language=B4X
*.b4j linguist-language=B4X
*.b4r linguist-language=B4X
*.bas linguist-language=B4X

# linguist-detectable
*.b4a linguist-detectable=true
*.b4i linguist-detectable=true
*.b4j linguist-detectable=true
*.b4r linguist-detectable=true
*.bas linguist-detectable=true

My observation is that if I put my code inside folders name as demo or sample, the code is ignored. I think better avoid using such name for folders.

It will be great to have Upload to Github button integrated in the IDE, where the necessary .gitattributes and .gitignore is set as well as the files to upload and exclude

Good but it is not compulsory. Maybe make it an optional checkbox when creating a new project from template.

Of course, I am not saying it should be compulsory.

Its a button, those who like to upload to GitHub can easily do it right from the IDE.
