Generated

Not all files are written by humans. Generated will detect files that have been generated by computers. Items like a package-lock.json or files in node_modules.

For a full list of generated files detected, see generated.ts.

This project is largely a node.js port of the generated functionality of GitHub linguist.

Installation

pnpm add @noqcks/generated
