A updated fork of kbknapp/cargo-count using rust 2021, updated dependencies and more, to make it a more helpful demo repo for making cargo subcommands.
Originall readme:
A cargo subcommand for displaying line counts of source code in projects, including a niave unsafe
counter for Rust source files. This subcommand was originally based off and inspired by the project tokei by Aaronepower
To count the source code in the Rust repository, clone it, and print some naive statistics on how much "unsafe" code exists.
NOTE: The Rust repository is quite large, if you're on a slow internet connect consider using a smaller repository, such as the cargo-count
repo.
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/rust
$ cd rust
$ cargo count --separator , --unsafe-statistics

The --separator ,
sets a ,
character as the thousands separator, and --unsafe-statistics
looks for, and counts lines of unsafe
.
cargo-count
can be installed with cargo install
$ cargo install cargo-count
This may require a nightly version of cargo
if you get an error about the install
command not being found. You may also compile and install the traditional way by followin the instructions below.
Follow these instructions to compile cargo-count
, then skip down to Installation.
- Ensure you have current version of
cargo
and Rust installed - Clone the project
$ git clone https://github.com/kbknapp/cargo-count && cd cargo-count
- Build the project
$ cargo build --release
(NOTE: There is a large performance differnce when compiling without optimizations, so I recommend alwasy using--release
to enable to them) - Once complete, the binary will be located at
target/release/cargo-count
All you need to do is place cargo-count
somewhere in your $PATH
. Then run cargo count
anywhere in your project directory. For full details see below.
You have two options, place cargo-count
into a directory that is already located in your $PATH
variable (To see which directories those are, open a terminal and type echo "${PATH//:/\n}"
, the quotation marks are important), or you can add a custom directory to your $PATH
Option 1
If you have write permission to a directory listed in your $PATH
or you have root permission (or via sudo
), simply copy the cargo-count
to that directory # sudo cp cargo-count /usr/local/bin
Option 2
If you do not have root, sudo
, or write permission to any directory already in $PATH
you can create a directory inside your home directory, and add that. Many people use $HOME/.bin
to keep it hidden (and not clutter your home directory), or $HOME/bin
if you want it to be always visible. Here is an example to make the directory, add it to $PATH
, and copy cargo-count
there.
Simply change bin
to whatever you'd like to name the directory, and .bashrc
to whatever your shell startup file is (usually .bashrc
, .bash_profile
, or .zshrc
)
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
$ cp cargo-count ~/bin
$ source ~/.bashrc
On Windows 7/8 you can add directory to the PATH
variable by opening a command line as an administrator and running
C:\> setx path "%path%;C:\path\to\cargo-count\binary"
Otherwise, ensure you have the cargo-count
binary in the directory which you operating in the command line from, because Windows automatically adds your current directory to PATH (i.e. if you open a command line to C:\my_project\
to use cargo-count
ensure cargo-count.exe
is inside that directory as well).
There are a few options for using cargo-count
which should be somewhat self explanitory.
USAGE:
cargo count [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [--] [ARGS]
FLAGS:
-S, --follow-symlinks Follows symlinks and counts source files it finds
-a, --all Do not ignore .gitignored paths
(Defaults to false when omitted)
-h, --help Prints help information
--unsafe-statistics Displays lines and percentages of "unsafe" code
-V, --version Prints version information
-v, --verbose Print verbose output
OPTIONS:
-l, --language <exts>... Only count these languges (by source code extension)
(i.e. '-l js py cpp')
-e, --exclude <paths>... Files or directories to exclude (automatically includes '.git')
--utf8-rule <rule> Sets the UTF-8 parsing rule (Defaults to 'strict')
[values: ignore lossy strict]
-s, --separator <sep> Set the thousands separator for pretty printing
ARGS:
to_count... The files or directories (including children) to count
(defaults to current working directory when omitted)
When using '--exclude <path>' the path given can either be relative to the current
directory, or absolute. When '<path>' is a file, it must be relative to the current
directory or it will not be found. Example, if the current directory has a child
directory named 'target' with a child fild 'test.rs' and you use `--exclude target/test.rs'
Globs are also supported. For example, to exclude 'test.rs' files from all child directories
of the current directory you could do '--exclude */test.rs'.
