Github stats from Languages used is incorrect for me

[prathmesh-ka-github]

Hello, I have used this github-readme-stats for my readme. For the most languages used one, It says that my top language is Jupyter Notebook but I don't have that many projects in jupyter notebook. I have many projects in JavaScript and HTML CSS, but they are ranked lower than it.

You can check this by visiting my profile. Please help. I dont know if this is a bug or did I do any mistake while using the API.

Need your help on this.

Thanks.

Hi! This isn’t a bug, github-readme-stats calculates languages based on file size, not number of projects. A single large Jupyter Notebook file can outweigh multiple smaller JavaScript or HTML files.
Use the exclude_repo parameter to ignore specific repos:
Replace repo-name with the name of the repo that contains the Jupyter Notebook. Then make sure there is no space between your username and the "&"

That's correct. Thank you for answering.

I just want to add that we provide the following query parameters &size_weight=1&count_weight=0 to allow users control languages stats calculation algorithm. Basically you can choose between calculation based on the bytes count and the one based on repositories count, or combine both approaches. Here is the link on our documentation: https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats?tab=readme-ov-file#language-stats-algorithm

Also here is several examples:
