But when you dive it to see _why_that is, there is only one CSS based repo with any stars at all and that repo has nothing to do with CSS at all: [upgradingtorails4](https://github.com/alindeman/upgradingtorails4)\r\n\r\nMaybe someone with more knowledge of how GitHub determines the primary languages can chime in here. I see that GitHub marks the repo in question as over 97% CSS:\r\n\r\n![screen shot 2015-02-26 at 1 34 13 pm](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/270193/6398839/63e6cdd2-bdbc-11e4-9c5e-d20d276d2ace.png)\r\n\r\nBut looking at the files themselves, there are only 5 (very minimal) CSS files:\r\n\r\n![screen shot 2015-02-26 at 1 33 55 pm](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/270193/6398859/8c6b46c0-bdbc-11e4-94a6-9b0599ea385e.png)\r\n\r\nIt seems that even if GitHub didn't take Markdown into consideration, Ruby should still be considered the Repo's primary language.\r\n\r\nI only checked the top 3 CSS contributors in Atlanta, but all of them seemed to be suffering from the same issue.\r\n\r\nI don't have any brilliant solution to offer at the moment.. but I thought it was worth starting a discussion.
