"Analyze codebase with tokei (fast line counts by language) and difft (semantic AST-aware diffs). Get quick project overview without manual counting. Triggers on: how big is codebase, count lines of code, what languages, show semantic diff, compare files, code statistics."

Code Statistics

Quickly analyze codebase size, composition, and changes.

tokei - Line Counts

# Count all code
tokei

# Compact output sorted by code
tokei --compact --sort code

# Specific languages
tokei --type=TypeScript,JavaScript

# Exclude directories
tokei --exclude node_modules --exclude dist

# JSON output for scripting
tokei --output json | jq '.Total.code'

Sample Output

===============================================================================
 Language            Files        Lines         Code     Comments       Blanks
===============================================================================
 TypeScript             45        12847         9823         1456         1568
 JavaScript             12         2341         1876          234          231
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Total                  57        15188        11699         1690         1799

difft - Semantic Diffs

# Compare files
difft old.ts new.ts

# Inline mode
difft --display=inline old.ts new.ts

# With git
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=difft git diff
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=difft git show HEAD~1

Why Semantic?

| Traditional diff | difft | |-----------------|-------| | Line-by-line | AST-aware | | Shows moved as delete+add | Recognizes moves | | Whitespace sensitive | Ignores formatting |

Quick Reference

| Task | Command | |------|---------| | Count all code | tokei | | Compact output | tokei --compact | | Sort by code | tokei --sort code | | TypeScript only | tokei -t TypeScript | | JSON output | tokei --output json | | Exclude dir | tokei --exclude node_modules | | Semantic diff | difft file1 file2 | | Git diff | GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=difft git diff |

When to Use

  • Getting quick codebase overview
  • Comparing code changes semantically
  • Understanding project composition
  • Reviewing refactoring impact
  • Tracking codebase growth
