cloc: Compare 2 directory structures and count the differences between them.
$ cloc --diff ${path-to-directory-one} ${path-to-directory-two}
try on your machine
This command is using the "cloc" (Count Lines of Code) tool to calculate the difference in lines of code between two directories.
Here's a breakdown of the command structure:
- "cloc" is the name of the command you're executing.
- "--diff" is an option flag that tells cloc to calculate the difference.
- "${path-to-directory-one}" is the placeholder for the first directory path. You need to replace it with the actual path to the directory you want to compare.
- "${path-to-directory-two}" is the placeholder for the second directory path. Replace it with the actual path to the second directory.
Once you provide the appropriate directory paths, this command will run the cloc tool and display the comparison between the two directories, including the number of lines of code, comments, blank lines, and other relevant information.
