Think you’re in a big project?
Recently I became curious on how many lines of code a huge open source project I contribute to has on what languages. I found a tool called “cloc” on sourceforge, check out the results and I dare you to think again if you think you’re in a big project.
$ cloc . 11642 text files. 11383 unique files. 42549 files ignored. http://cloc.sourceforge.net v 1.51 T=193.0 s (56.3 files/s, 11577.2 lines/s) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Language files blank comment code -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Java 9259 309032 469814 1123643 HTML 1079 24512 16894 196291 XML 205 3152 4552 34709 C++ 62 2923 3738 16397 C/C++ Header 103 1874 4249 6685 C 17 842 729 2498 XSD 15 132 124 1358 Perl 6 301 752 1323 Objective C 10 249 237 798 DOS Batch 19 118 65 704 CSS 15 184 171 675 make 14 206 355 623 Bourne Shell 23 154 172 601 XSLT 4 134 298 553 Bourne Again Shell 12 69 141 426 Python 9 126 79 416 Javascript 7 42 21 188 IDL 1 14 0 52 Teamcenter def 1 0 0 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUM: 10861 344064 502391 1387949 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to count lines of code for your projects give cloc a try.
