Tally

Simple SLOC counter

Description

Tally is a command-line utility for counting the total lines of source code in a project. It is implemented as a single, ~70 line shell script, which correctly excludes comments and blank lines and displays a subtotal for each supported language.

Supported Languages

• AWK
• C
• CoffeeScript
• CSS
• HTML
• Lua
• Make
• Mallard
• JavaScript
• Perl
• Python
• Ruby
• Sed
• Shell
• SQL
• TCL
• Vala
• XML

Installation

git clone git://github.com/craigbarnes/tally.git
cd tally
sudo make install

or

wget https://raw.github.com/craigbarnes/tally/master/tally
sudo install -Dpm0755 tally /usr/local/bin/tally

Usage

Change to the directory you want to count and simply use the tally command. By default, Tally will include every file in every subdirectory below the current working directory. You can change this by specifying files and/or directories as arguments on the command-line, for example:

tally dir1/ file1.c file2.py

Paths starting with a dot character (e.g. .git) are always excluded.

Note: No output is displayed until all scanning and counting is complete, so it may seem unresponsive for a few seconds, depending on the size and number of files to be scanned.
