cloc is a command-line tool that counts blank lines, comment lines, and physical lines of source code across many programming languages. It can analyze individual files, directories, archives, or git commits and reports per-language statistics.
Use cases
- count lines of code in a project
- measure comment vs code ratio in a codebase
- compare code size between git commits
- get per-language line statistics for a directory
- audit codebase size before refactoring
When to choose
- you need quick, language-aware line counts from the terminal
- you want a mature, dependency-light tool with broad language support
- you need to analyze archives or git diffs for code volume
When to avoid
- you need deeper code quality metrics like complexity or duplication
- you want IDE-integrated live metrics rather than a CLI report
