Linguist is used to detect blob languages, ignore binary or vendored files, suppress generated files in diffs, and generate language breakdown graphs.
A repository’s languages stats can also be assessed from the command line using the github-linguist executable. Without any options, github-linguist will output the language breakdown by percentage and file size.
This is free and open source software.
