[Feature Request] Hide specific languages in Top Languages Card

[Jasonnor]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Because some languages inherently have more code lines than other languages,
I want to hide these exaggerated language statistics. 😥
Thanks!

Describe the solution you'd like

Maybe add a option like Hiding individual stats does, e.g.,

&hide=["Jupyter Notebook", "HTML"]

Describe alternatives you've considered

Not yet 😅

We currently have the option to hide languages below a certain percentage.

Either we implement the option to hide languages above a percentage or we add the option to hide specific languages and forget the idea of hiding languages that fall into a percentage category.

[Jasonnor]

Yes, as title says, what I want is to hide a specific language 😃

I suggested this when adding this feature, but Anurag preferred to add the below percentage option.

I think this would be a nice option to have.

I think we can remove the below percentage option maybe? if we are adding specific language hiding features they i don't think hide_langs_below option would be useful anymore.

[nombrekeff]

I agree. I think it would be a bit redundant to keep hide_langs_below if we add the hide languages option.

This might not make sense for this specific issue actually, because in this particular issue (Jupyter Notebook being a predominant language that the person does not want to see) the percentage for other languages will need to be recomputed.

So ignoring specific languages might be better, I remember Github linguist can do something like this, I suppose this is what github-readme-stats uses for generating those numbers.

[martinRenou]

Ideally we could remove multiple languages?
