GitHub Line Count

A browser script that adds a total line count badge to GitHub repositories.

Features

  • Displays total lines of code directly on repository pages
  • Works with both public and private repositories
  • Lightweight and non-intrusive

Installation

  1. Install a userscript manager like Tampermonkey
  2. Install the script
  3. (Optional) Open the menu of the userscript manager and configure a GitHub Personal Access Token for higher rate limits:
    • Requires public_repo scope for public repositories
    • Requires repo scope for private repositories
    • For fine-grained personal access tokens, select "Public repositories" or "All repositories" under "Repository access" as needed

How It Works

Since GitHub does not provide a direct API to get the total line count of a repository, the script calculates approximate line counts by combining:

  1. GitHub's file tree metadata
  2. Weekly commit activity statistics

Note:

  • Results may vary slightly from exact counts
  • Very large repositories may not be supported

Roadmap

  • [x] Add support for linguistic detection (i.e., ignore vendored or generated code)
  • [ ] Add support for mobile device views
