Hi, thanks for the PR and for linking the Linguist docs!

You're right that *.md linguist-documentation=false makes sense here — Markdown really is the product in this repo, so it should count in the language stats. Nice catch.

Would you mind trimming the rest of the changes though? A few things don't quite fit this repo:

• The rules for *.py, *.css, *.sh, *.json, etc. — we don't really have those file types here, so they don't do much.
• The export-ignore rules — we don't ship release tarballs, so they have no effect.
• Our current .gitattributes is intentionally minimal (just LF on *.md).

Could you keep just the LF normalization + your *.md linguist-documentation=false line, and drop the rest? Also a trailing newline at the end would be great.

Thanks a lot! 🙏

Hi, @Y0Coss,
According to your comment, I just updated the .gitattribute.

I intentionally left some extensions in there because they exist in the repository. Feel free to remove or comment them out.
