Overview

CountMyCode is a tool that helps you count the lines of code in your project. It uses a simple command-line interface. Once you select which files to count, it spins up a web server to display the results.

This was a smaller and simpler project than I usually work on, but since I've started working with larger codebases, I think having a lightweight tool to audit code is really useful.

Usage

• First, specify the repository you'd like to audit. You can do this in two ways:
• Provide the path as an argument when running the application via the command line
• If no path is specified, the application will prompt you to enter the path manually.
• Select the files to audit by excluding any files or folders you don't want to include, such as auto-generated files or vendor directories.
• Specify the names of any file types that aren't automatically detected.
• View the audit results in your browser. The application starts a web server and opens the results in your default browser.

What I Learned

This project was simple, so I didn't learn a lot of new concepts. However, I used it as an opportunity to improve my understanding of proper file management and how to structure code in a clean, maintainable, and extensible way.
