Repository with Rmd (R Markdown) marked with HTML only

R Mardown shows HTML in Repo

Question

Body

I have a project where I coded in R Markdown. The Repo with this file is tagged with HTML, and shows to be the only language used. For Python Notebooks it shows Jupyter Notebook, but for R Markdown its showing HTML. How do I fix it to show R as the language (since that's what I used)? Any ideas would be helpful.

Try to create a .gitattributes file in the root of your repository and add the following line:

*.Rmd linguist-language=R

This will tell GitHub Linguist to treat all .Rmd files as R instead of HTML. After adding this file, commit and push the changes to your repository. GitHub should then update the language statistics to reflect R instead of HTML.
