Adding .cu and .cuh as 'c' code in Git Extensions

Question

I'm looking at the lines of code estimate given in Git Extensions and I don't think it is counting the .cu and .cuh CUDA lines of code in those files.

How do I add the .cu and .cuh file extensions into the various Git Gui and Git Extensions tools?

Is there a special file I have to add *.cu and *.cuh into?

Answer 1

This looks like something that is specific to Git Extensions, not Git itself (Git cares very little about file types¹).

I have not used Git Extensions, but a look through the source code turned up a likely candidate for the default list of extensions used in the statistics plugin. It looks like this is intended to be configurable, but I have not investigated the code enough to find out if it actually is configurable. Maybe it is only configurable through the registry? (somewhere under CurrentUser\Software\ GitExtensions\GitExtensions\<version>?)

¹ Git does include a default set of “diff drivers” (and lets you define other such drivers) that locate the text to use after each “hunk header” (@@ -k,l +n,m @@ line) and how to break up words in “word diff” mode. Diff drivers are assigned via attribute (.gitattributes, $GIT_DIR/info/attributes, or (in Git 1.7.4 and later) /etc/gitattributes, or the file named by the core.attributesfile configuration variable), but they are not strictly based on extensions themselves (though that is, effectively, how most attributes are assigned in practice).

Answer 2

You can edit list of code files extensions in Plugins > Settings > Statistics

Answer 3

Check your .gitingore file and your .gitexcludes.

Answer 4

As the exact path of the registry entry has not yet been posted here, I'll do it now: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GitExtensions\GitExtensions\StatisticsCode files
