The command "tokei" is a command-line tool used to count lines of code in a given directory or file. The "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path to the directory you want to analyze.

When you run the command "tokei ${path-to-directory}", the tool will scan all the files within the specified directory (and its subdirectories) and provide several statistics about the codebase. These statistics typically include the total number of lines, lines of code, lines of comments, and number of blanks lines.

By using this command, developers can get an overview of the size and complexity of their codebase, which can be useful for understanding the project's scope, estimating effort, and tracking code changes over time.
