how to change the category?

You are seeing CSS as your main language because it is the most-used in that repository. Other than adding more source languages to your repository, I do not think there is any manual way to change that displayed language.
Hope this helps!
Hi @ura2rist,
Welcome to the Github Community Forum!
You cannot change the language of the repository, but you can change the attributes of the github repository. I mean that if you have a project where there are 60% css and 40% javascript you can said to github-linguist, that you want to ignore the css file.
To do that you need to:
-
create a .gitattributes file in the root of the project
-
edit that file and add a line to ignore the css language file
*.css linguist-detectable=false
*.js linguist-detectable=true -
add, commit and push to remote and see the result
With this 3 steps you can ignore detection for a specific languages. You can also add more attributes, for example something like this:
*.css linguist-detectable=false
*.js linguist-detectable=true
*.java linguist-detectable=false
this attributes ignore the java files.
Hope this helps…
Ps: if you need some screenshots ask…
