Summary
Requests for new highlighting lexers, additional language extensions, or directory exclusions in a repository's stats graph prompted a consolidation of scattered code into a unified library, which has now been made open source. This initiative allows users to contribute by addressing unrecognized file extensions or advocating for support of less common programming languages. The project, available on GitHub, invites collaboration and contributions from the community to enhance functionality and support for diverse coding needs.
