Customize GitHub language detection

[arey]

GitHub uses linguist to detect languages. For spring-petclinic-reactks, CSS is the first one. It should be Java or TypeScript.
We could customize this behavior, See https://github.com/spring-petclinic/spring-petclinic-kotlin/blob/master/.gitattributes

@arey I can send in a pull request for this change, seems pretty straightforward. Anything specific I should take care of? Thanks !!

Hi @ankurshukla10 , sure, you could submit a change. If you want to upgrade this sample to more recent versions of Spring Boot and ReactJS, you're welcome.

After your PR merge, the languages repartition didn't changed and I don't know why :-(

@arey yeah, I noticed too :(. I am trying to check this locally by installing github-linguist on my development machine, but to my bad luck the install keeps on failing. Right now I am getting the attached error. Do you have any insights on why that might be? Or If you can point me in a better direction, that'll be helpful.

Maybe you have to install a ruby gem?

gem install ffi -- --enable-system-libffi        # to install the gem manually
bundle config build.ffi --enable-system-libffi   # for bundle install
