Terminal Tools for Code Metrics
A software metric is a measurement taken from source code or from the work that produced it, such as lines of code per language, comment ratio, or cyclomatic complexity in a function.
These tools read a repository and report on it without changing anything in it. They count what a codebase is made of, rank files by churn or complexity, and print numbers that a CI job can compare against a threshold. Teams use them to find the parts of a project that cost the most to maintain, often alongside static analysis tools that look for defects instead.
Below is a list of terminal tools that measure code.
