That happened to a Go repo of mine once as well (except it was a python script causing the misidentification). I fixed it by adding a gitattributes file to the repo. Here it is:

Why is the fix to tell Github that py files are Go? I would have expected the fix to be to tell it that go files are Go instead, no?

I would guess, the real fix is to improve linguist, the Ruby gem GitHub uses to determine the programming language. Everything else is a workaround.
