github
GitHub appears to auto-detect the project language type. However, it has failed on a couple of mine.
Is there a way to set that manually, or is there some keyword/phrase I should set to trigger it?
I'd presumed it goes by file extension as it properly detects my Modula-2, Propeller Spin, and Java repos. However, it only identifies about half my Assembly repos properly (and they all have .asm files).
Simply delete the gh-pages remote branch:
$ git push origin :gh-pages
Nowadays, GitHub supports archiving repositories.
