cloc: Count all the lines of code in a directory.
$ cloc ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine
The command "cloc ${path-to-directory}" is used to count the lines of code (LOC) in a specified directory.
Here's how each part of the command works:
- "cloc" is the command itself, which stands for "Count Lines of Code". It is a software tool used to count the number of lines, files, and languages used in a project.
- "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the directory you want to count the lines of code in. It specifies the location where you want the cloc command to run and calculate the lines of code.
By running this command with the appropriate directory path, you will get a detailed report that includes the total number of lines of code, files, and languages found in the specified directory.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
