Need help enabling Asciidoc detection

[LouvAndTech]

Hello,

I need your help understanding my mistake here.
I have a repository for documentation writing that use mostly Asciidoc.
I notice that some repository on GitHub have asciidoc as part of their statistics, like this one.
I tried using the overwrite with the .gitattributes file like so:

➜ git:(main) ✗ cat .gitattributes
# Detect .asciidoc, .adoc and .yml files
*.adoc linguist-detectable
*.asciidoc linguist-detectable
*.yml linguist-detectable#

But after commit and push asciidoc still is missing from the stats...

➜ git:(main) ✗ github-linguist .
74.06%  4463       Python
19.96%  1203       YAML
5.97%   360        CSS

YAML on the other hand appeared without an issue.
I tried to make a small change in both an .adoc and a .asciidoc file but the issue persisted.

Hope someone can help me.

You've not provided a link to your repo so I can't see things in action, but given your explanation that this is for documentation purposes, it's possible your files are in a directory Linguist considers documentation and thus ignores:

linguist/lib/linguist/documentation.yml

Lines 10 to 19 in f164d13

	## Documentation directories ##
	- ^[Dd]ocs?/
	- (^|/)[Dd]ocumentation/
	- (^|/)[Gg]roovydoc/
	- (^|/)[Jj]avadoc/
	- ^[Mm]an/
	- ^[Ee]xamples/
	- ^[Dd]emos?/
	- (^|/)inst/doc/

In this case you will need to also add the -linguist-documentation override.

If this isn't the case, we'd really need to see the repo or a mock that illustrates the problem if your repo is private.

That was exactly my problem!
Added : doc/** -linguist-documentation to my .gitattribute solved the issue.
Thank you verry much!
