Languages and lines of code

Import of languages for a project#

You can import JSON reports generated by the cloc tool via the API:

When importing a file, all language information for the respective project will be deleted first and then populated with the content of the file. Please make sure to use the --json parameter when invoking the cloc command, to get the correct file format.

Display#

The results of the import are shown on the left side of the product details page.

The colors are defined by entries in the table Language_Type, which has been prepopulated with data from GitHub.

Import of language types#

GitHub updates its language colors from time to time, when new languages emerge. The management command

./manage.py import_github_languages

reads data from a JSON file hosted in https://github.com/ozh/github-colors to add new languages and update colors.
