+the GitHub linguist (as of 2024, Thursday, August 22nd) doesn't show the language of individual branches until forked and set as the default branch. Sometimes you may need to make 1 commit before it shows on new repositories (HTML will always be shown first) The GitHub linguist seems to only display the languages of the main branch.
