The command "cloc --vcs git ${path-to-directory}" is used to count the lines of code in a directory while utilizing the version control system (VCS) information from a Git repository.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• "cloc" is a command-line tool that stands for "Count Lines of Code." It is used to measure the number of lines in a given source code file or directory.
• "--vcs git" is an option passed to the "cloc" command, specifying that it should utilize the information from the Git version control system to count the lines of code.
• "${path-to-directory}" represents the path or directory where the code is located. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual path to the desired directory.

So, when you execute the command, "cloc" will analyze the specified directory, retrieve the version control system data from the Git repository, and provide you with a breakdown of the lines of code within that directory. This can be helpful for understanding the size and complexity of a codebase.
