Fix Linguistics in Your Repo

Sometimes GitHub will mismark your repo's languages.

I had a C++ project displaying that a large portion was Objective-C because of a single header file from SQLite3.h.

Step 1:

Create a .gitattributes file in your root. Mine looks like this:

# SQLite3
src/sqlite3.* linguist-vendored

This will ignore all sqlite3 files from GitHub's linguistic finder.

Step 2:

In order for the change to appear in GitHub you'll need to do this to enable the feature:

git config cola.fileattributes true

Enjoy 😄
