NeonLoc

A blazingly fast, cyber-styled source code counter. Count your lines with pure edge.

Installation

Install directly from PyPI:

pip install neonloc

From source:

git clone https://github.com/debeski/neonloc.git
cd neonloc
pip install .

Usage

Simply run neonloc in your terminal and pass a directory. By default, it will use the current directory (.).

neonloc .

Or target a specific folder:

neonloc /path/to/project

List line metrics by layout-aware paths:

neonloc . -L auto

Use -L files, --list-loc dirs, or --list-loc both to force file, directory, or combined LOC tables. When -L is passed, NeonLoc shows only the detailed path table view plus the final scan summary. Tame large listings with --depth N (dirs mode), --top/--top-dirs/--top-languages N, and --sort loc|name|code|comments|ratio (files mode).

Export the scan result as JSON + text report:

neonloc . -e

Writes timestamped result_<timestamp>.json/.txt files under the scanned directory's .neonloc folder (never overwritten).

Export a standalone HTML report:

neonloc . --html report.html

Other useful flags:

neonloc . -D              # file-size distribution, empty/minimal files, largest files
neonloc . -X              # duplicate-code detection (normalized line-hash matching)
neonloc . --git           # branch, HEAD commit, author, uncommitted diffstat
neonloc . --since 30d     # daily LOC trend from Git history (also accepts w/m/y)
neonloc . -q              # print only the total LOC count, for scripting
neonloc . --no-banner --no-color  # script-friendly output

Configure defaults with a .neonloc.toml file in the scanned directory, so neonloc . just works:

[scan]
respect_gitignore = true
include_hidden = false
include_generated = false

[output]
color = true
banner = true

[thresholds]
large_file = 500
huge_file = 1000

Features

• Categorized Metrics: Distinct, color-coded tables for Code, Documentation, Config, Data, Markup, and Style, each with a Code / Comment / Blank ratio column.
• Cyber Aesthetic: Pure neon glory in your terminal, rendered with Rich.
• Lightning Fast: Scans and parses directories in the blink of an eye.
• Language Support: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, C/C++, C#, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, HTML, Jinja/Django, XML/SVG, CSS, YAML, JSON, SQL, CSV, Markdown, Text, Bash, Ruby, Java, PHP, Vue, Svelte, TOML, INI/Config, Dockerfile, and common ignore files (.gitignore, etc.).
• Deep Metrics: Counts true code logic, comments, blanks, and total lines.
• Path LOC Tables: Optional file and directory tables replace the generic category report, with auto choosing flat, modular, or mixed layout output. Supports depth limiting, top-N caps, and sorting.
• Project Health: Always-on panel with code ratio, average file size, largest file, empty/huge-file counts, and warnings — plus a FILE READ ERRORS table for any file NeonLoc couldn't analyze (never silently skipped).
• File Size Distribution & Duplication: -D shows size buckets, empty/minimal files, and the largest files; -X detects duplicated code blocks across files.
• Git Integration: --git shows branch/commit/author/diffstat; --since shows a daily LOC trend derived from Git history.
• Config File: Drop a .neonloc.toml in your project to set scan, output, and threshold defaults.
• Export Files: -e/--export writes timestamped JSON + text reports to .neonloc/; --html writes a standalone, self-contained HTML report.
• Scripting Friendly: -q/--quiet, --no-banner, --no-color.
