Hi Robert,
From where have you fetched this details? Have you used any github api?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Aniket,
I created this list back in 2017 using data from several blogs, docs, code fragments, etc…. I don’t regularly update it, so I’m not sure if this information is available via the GitHub API.
Hi Robert,
This document may be useful to you: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/linguist/master/lib/linguist/languages.yml
"Linguist" is the tool used and developed by GitHub to detect languages, the colours are defined in that file.
