Hello guys, I want to know if bitbucket shows the languages used in the repository now?

[Sriman Mayandi]

coz i am not able to find it in the ui.. is there a specific space to look at.. and is there an api to get that languages split up ?

hi, 

As of now No

You can manually assign a language to a repository via Repository settings (Advanced), but do note it does not scan the repository and detect the changes. 

The workaround you can try is 

• Use tools such as GitHub Linguist, cloc, tokei, or SonarQube, or build a custom integration if your organization needs repository language analytics.

Hi @Sriman Mayandi 

Bitbucket Cloud doesn't have a native UI view or API endpoint to give you a GitHub-style language breakdown. There’s a long-standing feature request for this (BCLOUD-287), but it’s still unresolved.

As a workaround, you’ll need to clone the repository locally and run an external analysis tool like GitHub Linguist or a similar language detection script to have those statistics.

Cheers,
