What "primary language" means here

GitHub assigns every repository a single detected primary language, so each repository appears in exactly one list. A project that is half Python and half C++ is filed under whichever language GitHub detected as dominant, which is why the per-language totals on this page do not add up to the number of repositories on GitHub.

Adding a language

Fetching is free-form: trigger the workflow from the Actions tab with a comma-separated list of languages, or run LANGUAGES=Rust,Zig python scripts/fetch_top_repos.py locally. Each language costs one Search API request.

Publishing it is a configuration step, not an automatic one. The site builder reads the language list in scripts/site_content.py, so add a line there — key, display name, URL slug and a one-line note — and the next build generates the page. Until then the JSONL and Markdown files exist in the repository but no page is published for them. Changing the builder to discover data/ automatically would remove that step. The methodology page has the details.
