PyCounter

PyCounter is a script I wrote for counting lines and files in directories.

PyCounter can provide metrics for your projects.

Motivation

At times I want to know how many lines I already wrote in the project, but I don't want to go through the hassle of counting each and every file so I wrote this small script to help me ✨

Installation

Execute this on your preffered terminal.

git clone https://github.com/oransimhony/pycounter.git
cd pycounter

And now you are ready to go!

Usage

python counter.py --help

Usage: counter.py [options]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p PATH, --path=PATH  Choose path for the counter to run on
  -v, --verbose         Print the names of the scanned files and directories
  -e, --extensions      Sort lines by file extensions
  -z, --include-zero    Include files with zero lines
  -g, --graph           Graph the results **(Experimental Feature)**

If you don't specify a path, the path defaults to current directory

Ignoring files and directories

Like .gitignore, you can use .countignore to specify names of directories and files you don't want to be scanned.

Examples

Examples with this directory

python counter.py

You have 395 lines across 4 files

python counter.py -e
