Tokei (時計)

Tokei is a program that displays statistics about your code. Tokei will show the number of files, total lines within those files and code, comments, and blanks grouped by language.

Features

• Tokei is very fast, and is able to count millions of lines of code in seconds. Check out the 11.0.0 release to see how Tokei's speed compares to others.

• Tokei is accurate, Tokei correctly handles multi line comments, nested comments, and not counting comments that are in strings. Providing an accurate code statistics.

• Tokei has huge range of languages, supporting over 150 languages, and their various extensions.

• Tokei can output in multiple formats (CBOR, JSON, YAML) allowing Tokei's output to be easily stored, and reused. These can also be reused in tokei combining a previous run's statistics with another set.

• Tokei is available on Mac, Linux, and Windows. See installation instructions for how to get Tokei on your platform.

• Tokei is also a library allowing you to easily integrate it with other projects.

• Tokei comes with and without color. Set the env variable NO_COLOR to 1, and it'll be black and white.

Manual

Downloading

You can download prebuilt binaries in the releases section.

Building

You can also build and install from source (requires the latest stable Rust compiler.)

cargo install --git https://github.com/XAMPPRocky/tokei.git tokei

Configuration

Tokei has a configuration file that allows you to change default behaviour. The file can be named tokei.toml or .tokeirc. Currently tokei looks for this file in three different places. The current directory, your home directory, and your configuration directory.

How to use Tokei

Basic usage

This is the basic way to use tokei. Which will report on the code in ./foo and all subfolders.

$ tokei ./foo

Multiple folders

To have tokei report on multiple folders in the same call, simply add all the folders you'd like tokei to examine.

$ tokei ./foo ./bar ./baz

Excluding folders

Tokei will respect all .gitignore and .ignore files, and you can use the --exclude option to exclude any additional files. The --exclude flag has the same semantics as .gitignore.

$ tokei ./foo --exclude *.rs

Paths to exclude can also be listed in a .tokeignore file, using the same syntax as .gitignore files.

Sorting output

By default tokei sorts alphabetically by language name, however using --sort tokei can also sort by any of the columns.

blanks, code, comments, lines

$ tokei ./foo --sort code

Outputting file statistics

By default tokei only outputs the total of the languages, and using --files flag tokei can also output individual file statistics.

$ tokei ./foo --files

Outputting into different formats

Tokei normally outputs into a nice human readable format designed for terminals. There is also using the --output option various other formats that are more useful for bringing the data into another program.

Note: This version of tokei was compiled without any serialization formats, to enable serialization, reinstall tokei with the features flag.

  ALL:
  cargo install tokei --features all

  CBOR:
  cargo install tokei --features cbor

  YAML:
  cargo install tokei --features yaml

Currently supported formats

• JSON --output json
• YAML --output yaml
• CBOR --output cbor

$ tokei ./foo --output json

Reading in stored formats

Tokei can also take in the outputted formats added in the previous results to its current run. Tokei can take either a path to a file, the format passed in as a value to the option, or from stdin.

$ tokei ./foo --input ./stats.json

Options

USAGE:
    tokei [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [--] [input]...

FLAGS:
    -f, --files               Will print out statistics on individual files.
    -h, --help                Prints help information
        --hidden              Count hidden files.
    -l, --languages           Prints out supported languages and their extensions.
        --no-ignore           Don't respect ignore files (.gitignore, .ignore, etc.). This implies --no-ignore-parent,
                              --no-ignore-dot, and --no-ignore-vcs.
        --no-ignore-dot       Don't respect .ignore and .tokeignore files, including those in parent directories.
        --no-ignore-parent    Don't respect ignore files (.gitignore, .ignore, etc.) in parent directories.
        --no-ignore-vcs       Don't respect VCS ignore files (.gitignore, .hgignore, etc.), including those in parent
                              directories.
    -V, --version             Prints version information
    -v, --verbose             Set log output level:
                                          1: to show unknown file extensions,
                                          2: reserved for future debugging,
                                          3: enable file level trace. Not recommended on multiple files

OPTIONS:
    -c, --columns <columns>       Sets a strict column width of the output, only available for terminal output.
    -e, --exclude <exclude>...    Ignore all files & directories matching the pattern.
    -i, --input <file_input>      Gives statistics from a previous tokei run. Can be given a file path, or "stdin" to
                                  read from stdin.
    -o, --output <output>         Outputs Tokei in a specific format. Compile with additional features for more format
                                  support. [possible values: cbor, json, yaml]
    -s, --sort <sort>             Sort languages based on column [possible values: files, lines, blanks, code, comments]
    -t, --type <types>            Filters output by language type, separated by a comma. i.e. -t=Rust,Markdo
