B4X is Recognized as a Language on GitHub

I just found that B4X is recognized as a language on GitHub. Cool.

Thats a good news.

But I just checked my Repo and it still shows some as VBA and some Java. Do I have to upload new ones before its tagged as B4X? Is there a special header we have to add?

 

[xulihang]

You may need to update some files.

The files were misclassified as VBA. I've added this line to .gitattributes to fix it:

*.bas linguist-language=B4X

This is a known issue due to the fact GitHub's Search and Linguist are not tightly linked... Search lags behind Linguist.

Support for B4X was added in Linguist v8.0.0 released on Monday and this is why I always add this not to the release PRs like #7021:

NOTE: Search results will not reflect changes and new lanuguages until the upstream internal library is updated to pull in the changes from this release and that then deployed to GitHub's Search.

I have updated all my B4X repos on GitHub.
I am using the attached .gitatrributes file (remove .txt file extension before use).
Adapt to your needs (Delete any lines). Cheers!

My observation is that if I put my code inside folders name as demo or sample, the code is ignored. I think better avoid using such name for folders.

It will be great to have Upload to Github button integrated in the IDE, where the necessary .gitattributes and .gitignore is set as well as the files to upload and exclude

Good but it is not compulsory. Maybe make it an optional checkbox when creating a new project from template.

Of course, I am not saying it should be compulsory.

Its a button, those who like to upload to GitHub can easily do it right from the IDE.

Hope to see more open source projects for B4X on Github.

Opening Github Desktop with a comment link: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/github.127723/post-800227 is more useful than directly uploading the project (it isn't really possible).

[B4X] [Project Template] B4XPages for GitHub Upload

Nothing special about this template. Just added 2 files (.gitignore and .gitattributes) into the platform folders. Also added a comment link to open GitHub Desktop.
