Count the total number of files in each immediate subdirectory

counts the total (recursive) number of files in the immediate (depth 1) subdirectories as well as the current one and displays them sorted.

Fixed, as per ashawley's comment

Prints total line count contribution per user for an SVN repository

I'm working in a group project currently and annoyed at the lack of output by my teammates. Wanting hard metrics of how awesome I am and how awesome they aren't, I wrote this command up.

It will print a full repository listing of all files, remove the directories which confuse blame, run svn blame on each individual file, and tally the resulting line counts. It seems quite slow, depending on your repository location, because blame must hit the server for each individual file. You can remove the -R on the first part to print out the tallies for just the current directory.

find . -name "*.sql" -print0 | wc -l --files0-from=-

Get lines count of a list of files

This command gives you the number of lines of every file in the folder and its subfolders matching the search options specified in the find command. It also gives the total amount of lines of these files.

The combination of print0 and files0-from options makes the whole command simple and efficient.

count() { find $@ -type f -exec cat {} + | wc -l; }
