Problem Description

Could it be because of the .json files? Still, it should show 1% Typescript at least

Could it be because of the .json files?

Nope. It's because of the shebang:

#!/usr/bin/env node

Linguist considers node as an interpreter for Javascript, not Typescript:

For Typescript, you'd need to either use deno or ts-node:

That explains it, I will try to fix it like you suggested. Thanks for the help, have a nice weekend 😁

@lildude I associated the node interpreter with TypeScript in #4261. When did we remove that?

[lildude]

When @Alhadis merged #4470 😁

The OP of the PR states:

UPDATE: This PR's been updated to remove node from TypeScript's interpreters list as well, following conversation between @pchaigno and @grant. Merging this PR will now also fix #4469.
