kgryte · kgryte · commit 20a70436a0f9 · 2017-05-06T22:10:44.000-07:00
The aim of this commit is to indicate to GitHub's linguist how to
handle specific filepaths. For instance, linguist is configured to
interpret anything under the `node_modules` directory as a "vendor"
dependency, which is not true for this project.
