scc: Print lines of code in the target directory.
$ scc ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command "scc ${path-to-directory}" is used to run the SCC (Source Code Counter) tool on a specific directory.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "scc" is the executable or command name for the SCC tool.
  • "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder for the actual path to the directory you want to analyze with SCC. You need to replace it with the correct path.

When you run this command, SCC will traverse through the specified directory and count the lines of code (LOC) in the source files it encounters. SCC can provide various metrics like total lines of code, lines of comments, number of functions, and more.

By using this command, you can assess the size and complexity of the source code in the specified directory, which can be helpful for code analysis, project management, or software maintenance purposes.
