$ cd tokei
$ cargo build --release

Linux

# sudo mv target/release/tokei /usr/local/bin

OSX

# sudo mv target/release/tokei /usr/local/bin/tokei

Windows

• Create a folder for tokei
• search for env
• open "edit your enviroment variables"
• edit PATH
• append folder path to the end of the string ie: <path_stuff_here>;C:/tokei/;

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 a comma, or a space followed by another path.

$ tokei ./foo ./bar ./baz

$ tokei ./foo, ./bar, ./baz

Excluding folders

The --exclude option accepts a comma-separated list of strings. Any file or directory containing a term will be ignored:

$ tokei ./foo --exclude node_modules,.cache,tmp target

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

Outputing 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 the terminal. There is also using the --output option various other formats that are more useful for bringing the data into another program.

Currently supported formats

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

$ tokei ./foo --output json

Reading in stored formats

Tokei can also take in the outputted formats added the previous results to it's 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

Common issues

Tokei says I have a lot of D code, but I know there is no D code!

This is likely due to gcc generating .d files. Until the D people decide on a different file extension, you can always exclude .d files using the -e --exclude flag like so

$ tokei . -e .d
