GitHub User Repositories Line of Code Counter

This bash script takes a GitHub username, downloads all the public repositories of that user, and then uses the cloc and jq tools to count the lines of code the user has written for each programming language.

Requirements

To run this script, you need to have the following installed:

1. bash
2. jq: A JSON query tool, very useful for working with JSON data.
3. cloc: A tool to count lines of code.

Usage

1. Clone this repository or copy the script to your local machine.
2. Open the script in a text editor and replace the USERNAME variable with your GitHub username.
3. Save the changes and close the editor.
4. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where the script is located.
5. Make the script executable by running:

   chmod +x script_name.sh

6. Run the script:

   ./script_name.sh

7. The script will create a directory with your GitHub username, clone all your public repositories into that directory, and generate a result.csv file with the lines of code statistics.

Example Output

Here is an example of what the result.csv file might look like:
