Code Statistics

Code Statistics adds a collapsible view under VS Code Explorer to show:

• Selected total code lines in the current workspace.
• All detected text-code lines.
• Total counted files.
• Line counts grouped by file extension.

Behavior

• Uses workspace root .gitignore rules when present.
• Detects binary files and excludes them from counting.
• Also ignores common generated/cache directories by default, including:
  • .git, node_modules, dist, build, out, coverage
  • .cache, .next, .nuxt, .turbo, .mypy_cache, .pytest_cache, .ruff_cache
  • .idea, .vscode, __pycache__, .venv, venv, target, tmp, temp
• Excludes common binary/media/archive artifacts by default (images, videos, audio, archives, etc.).
• Excludes common cache/binary suffixes by default (*.pyc, *.pyo, *.class, *.map, *.log, *.lock, etc.).

Usage

1. Open a folder/workspace in VS Code.
2. Open the Explorer panel.
3. Expand Code Statistics.
4. Click a file-type row to include/exclude it from Selected Lines.
5. Use Select All / Clear Selection in the view title as needed.
6. Click refresh in the view title to re-scan.
