One day our team has discussion about how to estimate amount of source code for one of our projects. First idea was just calculate total files size, but... A whole bunch of questions arised immediately: there are a lot of vendor code in project, there are binary files, there are images, generated code, multi-byte character encodings and so on.
Our goal was to understand just how many pure code was written by our team. And we want to know characters, lines and printed-pages estimate counts for projects. So this pet-project was born as an answer to this questions.
mt-howmany is composer based command-line utility. It is installed like any composer package as a dependency:
composer require mitoteam/mt-howmany
Please take a look at GitHub project page for more details about installation and program usage.
Both UNIX-based and Windows OS are supported. All paths are relative to working directory, directory separators are changed from UNIX-ones (/) to Windows-ones (\) automatically when needed.
Unicode strings are handled by symfony/string package for proper characters count calculation. Tool supports exclusions by file extension or by file type. You can define custom characters per page and lines per page values in config.
Config files are in YAML. There is an ability to split config file to several files (importing one to another). We use this to have common part of config in common repository and individual per-project configs.
