Sloc Cloc and Code (scc) is a hyper-fast, open-source command-line tool written in Go that counts lines of code, blank lines, and comment lines across hundreds of programming languages. Created by Ben Boyter, scc goes beyond basic counting by calculating code complexity estimates, COCOMO cost models, and codebase “DRYness”.
In modern software engineering, scc and the metrics it tracks matter because they convert raw, chaotic text files into actionable data for project management, optimization, and security. 📊 The Core Metrics: What They Mean
The name of the tool is a play on the three fundamental pillars of codebase analysis:
