How to remove a language from code language stats

[AnirudhG07]

I have a couple of repos with some Jupyter notebooks, and Most of my code is in other languages, but because of this, 80% is by Jupyter notebooks(ouch!).
Is there a way to remove some languages from the stats? So that my main code languages can come into frame.

Thanks

You can tell GitHub Linguist (the library GitHub uses to detect repo language stats) to ignore specific file types like

But do you know how to do it for all repo's of mine? not just one repo in particular???

Hello @AnirudhG07

You can hide the Jupiter notebook from your card by adding the &hide=jupyter%20notebook parameter into the image URL. Here is an example:

<img src="https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs?username=anirudhg07&show_icons=true&locale=en&layout=compact&theme=tokyonight&hide=jupyter%20notebook" />

Yeah, GitHub stats get messy when Jupyter notebooks are around since they’re huge files and dominate the chart.

🔹 Fix:

1. Make a .gitattributes file in your repo root.
2. Add this line:
   *.ipynb linguist-vendored
3. Commit + push → GitHub will ignore notebooks in language stats.

Optional:

• Export notebooks as .py so Python shows up more.
• Or keep notebooks in a separate repo if you want stats super clean.

Easiest = .gitattributes trick 👍

if you want to do it with all repo. unfort you have to do this one by one to all
