@@ -26,6 +26,14 @@ Great! You'll need to:
0. Add your grammar to [`grammars.yml`][grammars] by running `script/download-grammars --add vendor/grammars/MyGrammar`.
0. Add samples for your language to the [samples directory][samples].
In addition, if your new language defines an extension that's already lised in [`languages.yml`][languages] (such as `.foo`) then sometimes a few more steps will need to be taken:
0. Make sure that example `.foo` files are present in the [samples directory][samples] for each language that uses `.foo`.
0. Test the performance of the Bayesian classifier with a relatively large number (1000s) of sample `.foo` files. (ping @arfon or @bkeepers to help with this) to ensure we're not misclassifying files.
0. If the Bayesian classifier does a bad job with the sample `.foo` files then a [heuristic](https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/lib/linguist/heuristics.rb) may need to be written to help.
Remember, the goal here is to try and avoid false positives!
We try only to add languages once they have some usage on GitHub, so please note in-the-wild usage examples in your pull request. In most cases we prefer that languages already be in use in hundreds of repositories before supporting them in Linguist.
