tallyman 1.0.2

tallyman

A small command-line tool that counts the lines in every file under a directory and prints the results as a table with a running total.

Built with C# and Spectre.Console.

Install

As a .NET global tool

Requires the .NET SDK.

From the solution root (the folder containing the .sln):

dotnet pack src/tallyman.Cli -c Release
dotnet tool install --global --add-source ./src/tallyman.Cli/bin/Release tallyman

To update after making changes, bump <Version> in src/tallyman.Cli/tallyman.Cli.csproj, pack again, then run:

dotnet tool update --global --add-source ./src/tallyman.Cli/bin/Release tallyman

To uninstall:

dotnet tool uninstall --global tallyman

Usage

tallyman <directories...>

Examples

Count lines in the current folder:

tallyman .

Count lines in a specific project:

tallyman ~/projects/my-app

Count lines from multiple directories:

tallyman ./Packages ./src

Output

Each directory gets its own table, with files listed alphabetically and paths relative to that directory, followed by a footer with the file count and total lines. When you pass more than one directory, a grand total is printed at the end.

Exit codes

Notes

• Subdirectories are searched recursively.
• Every file is counted, including binary files, so pointing it at folders like bin/, obj/, or .git/ will give meaningless numbers.
• Colors are only shown in a real terminal. They are stripped when output is redirected (for example tallyman . > out.txt) or when the NO_COLOR environment variable is set.

Development

Run from source:

dotnet run --project src/tallyman.Cli -- ./some-folder

Run the tests:

dotnet test
