github.com/github/linguist: create zip: samples/Ren'Py/example.rpy: malformed file path "samples/Ren'Py/example.rpy": invalid char '\''

[ronniee007]

This happens while doing go mod tidy command, takes in Ren'py as a malformed argument under file path is there any resolution for this to remove the char?

Can you provide more details of how you are using linguist to produce this error.

It sounds like you're trying to use the whole of linguist as a Go module in another app. This probably isn't what you want as the only Go code is the grammar compiler which isn't intended to be used by anything else. Linguist itself is written in Ruby. If you want a Go equivalent, take a look at go-enry which feeds off Linguist and is what GitHub used for its new Search.
