Summary

A newly redesigned feature has been introduced that displays language statistics on repository home pages, providing users with a quick overview of the languages used within a repository before examining the code. This feature utilizes Linguist to gather language statistics, which is intelligent enough to exclude common files and directories like jquery or vendor from the final count. Users are encouraged to report any unrecognized languages by Linguist to improve its accuracy.
