GitHub Repository Lines of Code

This project provides a function to calculate the total number of lines of code in a GitHub repository, with the option to exclude specific file paths (The files bloating the number of lines of code and need to be part of the repo, e.g package-lock.json, data.json etc.).

Features

• Fetches the total number of lines of code in a given GitHub repository.
• Allows excluding specific files from the line count.

Installation

1. Install the package via npm:

   npm install git-repo-lines-of-code

Usage

Function: getRepoLinesOfCode

Fetches the total number of lines of code in a given repository.

Parameters

• owner (string): The owner of the GitHub repository.
• repo (string): The name of the GitHub repository.
• excludeFilePaths (string[]): An optional array of file paths to exclude from the line count.

Returns

• Promise<number|string>: The total number of lines of code, minus any lines of code in the given file paths to exclude, or a string describing an error if the data could not be fetched.

Example

import getRepoLinesOfCode from 'git-repo-lines-of-code';

const owner = 'octocat';
const repo = 'Hello-World';
const excludeFilePaths = ['path-to-file.ts', 'path-to-auto-generated-code.json'];

getRepoLinesOfCode(owner, repo, excludeFilePaths)
    .then((linesOfCode) => {
        console.log(`Total lines of code: ${linesOfCode}`);
    })
    .catch((error) => {
        console.error(`Error: ${error}`);
    });
