linecount command

The linecount command shows the number of lines of code in a set of Go packages plus their dependencies. It serves as a working illustration of the packages.Load operation.

Example: show gopls' total source line count, and its breakdown between gopls, x/tools, and the std go/* packages. (The balance comes from other std packages.)

$ linecount -mode=total ./gopls
752124
$ linecount -mode=total -module=golang.org/x/tools/gopls ./gopls
103519
$ linecount -mode=total -module=golang.org/x/tools ./gopls
99504
$ linecount -mode=total -prefix=go -module=std ./gopls
47502

Example: show the top 5 modules contributing to gopls' source line count:

$ linecount -mode=module ./gopls | head -n 5
440274	std
103519	golang.org/x/tools/gopls
99504	golang.org/x/tools
40220	honnef.co/go/tools
17707	golang.org/x/text

Example: show the top 3 largest files in the gopls module:

$ linecount -mode=file -module=golang.org/x/tools/gopls ./gopls | head -n 3
6841	gopls/internal/protocol/tsprotocol.go
3769	gopls/internal/golang/completion/completion.go
2202	gopls/internal/cache/snapshot.go
