scc

It analyzes source trees and reports the number of physical lines, blank lines, comment lines, and total lines of code for many programming languages. The tool also offers optional calculations such as COCOMO‑based cost estimates, LOCOMO projections for language‑model development, cyclomatic‑style complexity metrics, and a “unique lines” or DRYness measure. Output can be formatted in several common styles, and the program runs as a command‑line utility that can be installed via Go, package managers, or Docker.

The primary audience is developers and engineering teams who need quick, language‑agnostic statistics for codebases, whether for personal insight, CI/CD quality gates, or larger‑scale project health monitoring. Its design emphasizes speed and a compact command name, making it suitable for frequent use in scripts and terminal workflows.

Distinctive aspects include built‑in cost‑model calculations, complexity estimates, and a metric for non‑duplicated code, all provided alongside the basic line‑counting functionality. The project is stable, MIT‑licensed, and supports a wide range of languages.
