linecount

linecount is a small CLI for counting lines across source files in a project.

It supports:

• extension whitelists
• default code-focused file types
• ignore patterns from .lcignore
• percentage breakdowns by file type
• short aliases like lc

Commands

Build the CLI locally:

npm install
npm run build

Create a default ignore file:

lc init

Run a count with the built-in defaults:

lc --path ./

Run a count with a custom whitelist:

lc --path ./ --whitelist ts,js,py,md

Add extra ignore patterns from the command line:

lc --path ./ --ignoreDir dist,coverage,*.py

Ignore Files

If a .lcignore file exists in the target directory, it replaces the built-in ignore defaults. Extra --ignoreDir values are still added on top.

Examples of supported patterns:

• dist
• node_modules
• .*
• *.py
• src/generated/*
