GitHub, define language for unknown suffix?

I have a repository that has Python source code in it, but the files are suffixed *.pyp. Is there a way to "assign it" to the Python language? (shown in tags, syntax highlighting, etc.)

I thought I saw something like this possible in the .gitattributes file..

Solution

  • I thought I saw something like this possible in the .gitattributes file..

    Yes, this is possible using Linguist overrides. You'd want:

    *.pyp linguist-language=Python

    However, .pyp is recognized by Linguist since June 2014 (after your question's date).
