Description

Files posted by CAM software, NC files are being incorrectly identified as nesC files in my repo.

URL of the affected repository:

https://github.com/kevinkhill/ncstat

Last modified on:

2020-11-27

Expected language:

NC? gcode? nc? I'm not sure what you want to call it

Detected language:

nesC

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate where .nc files are mapped to nesC in the Linguist language definitions (likely in `languages.yml` or a similar file) and investigate the heuristics or filename patterns causing the misclassification. Then update the configuration to correctly identify .nc files as NC or g code.
