GitHub statistics not working

I'm not sure where to ask this, if this is not the place feel free to close the post, but here's whats going on. A mate of mine has his repository on GitHub, but for some reason the language statistics aren't showing. I'm not sure why this is happening. Any ideas? Here's the repository

The GitHub language detection is based on linguist (as I described in this answer).

In your case, your js/css/json files could be:

  • too small to trigger that analysis
  • or too recent for that analysis to be completed

I suggest to wait another day before raising a ticket to GitHub support.

Update a few hours later: I suspect the language stats are only updated once a day, as they now are present on the OP's GitHub repo:

language stats

This is still the case in 2017, with pchaigno's comment:
(Paul Chaignon is one of the main contributors on the linguist project)

The language detection job (Linguist) is actually running as a background, low-priority job.
So it may take some time to update. Can be a few minutes, or a day.

You can see an example in "Paths not excluded from Github language statistics", where Paul suggests a way to debug how linguist applies to your repo.
