Counting lines of code (LOC) in PHP projects

Stanislav KhromovStanislav Khromov

CLOC is a great utility that counts lines of code in your project.

It also shows you how many files, blank lines and comment lines you have. Great stuff!

For Debian / Ubuntu you can install CLOC via:

apt-get install cloc

For CentOS/RHEL you can install CLOC via:

yum install cloc

Running it is simple:

cloc folder/

Here’s an example run, which also excludes a folder (.idea) from appearing in the stats.

cloc chibi-php-github/ --exclude-dir=.idea
      32 text files.
      32 unique files.
      96 files ignored.

SUM:                            26            284            715            933
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To exclude multiple folders, simply comma-separate them:

cloc chibi-php-github/ --exclude-dir=.idea,vendor,node_modules

CLOC needs no configuration and works for many languages!
