Detect C++ in any GitHub repo

C++ is one of the language technologies Stack Fingerprint recognises automatically when it scans a public repository.

How C++ is detected

Stack Fingerprint reads the repo's full file tree in one GitHub API call and flags C++ when it finds any of these:

  • File extensions: .cpp, .cc, .cxx

C++ README badge

A static badge you can paste anywhere in Markdown:

C++ badge

Markdown
![C++](https://img.shields.io/badge/C%2B%2B-00599C?style=for-the-badge&logo=cplusplus&logoColor=white)

Or let the repo describe itself

Static badges go stale the moment you swap a dependency. A Stack Fingerprint card is generated from the repo, so C++ (and everything around it) appears or disappears on its own:

Replace OWNER/REPO with your repository, or open the builder to pick a theme and layout.
