GitHub LOC counter: ghloc

Blog post covering its creation 📚

This scans all your repositories and aggregates your commit data (ghloc stats):

To install, run:

brew tap mattrltrent/tap ; brew install ghloc

To verify installation, run:

ghloc --version

Get your GitHub token

1. Go to GitHub's token manager (you may need to login) and click the Generate new token button in the top-right.

2. Give your new token a name, an optional description, and set its expiration. The specifics of what you enter don't matter. However, if your token expires, you'll have to re-enter a new one in the tool.

3. Under Repository access, select All repositories.

4. Under the Permissions > Repository permissions dropdown, grant your token Access: Read-only for:

   • Contents
   • Commit statuses

Use the CLI tool

Run this to set your credentials with your GitHub username and newfound token:

ghloc set --username <YOUR_NAME> --token <YOUR_TOKEN>

You can check they were added and saved correctly by running:

ghloc creds

And if needed, clear them by running:

ghloc clear

Then run this to check your stats (it will take a while):
