This command is using the "cloc" tool to count lines of code in a specific directory. Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "cloc": It is the command-line tool for counting lines of code in various programming languages.
- "--progress=1": This is an optional flag that sets the progress reporting level to 1. It means that the tool will display the progress of the counting process, updating it every 1 second.
- "${path-to-directory}": This is a placeholder for the actual path to the directory you want to analyze. You need to replace it with the real path on your system.
By running this command, you will get an output that shows the number of files, blank lines, comment lines, and code lines in the specified directory. The progress updates will be displayed every 1 second.
