Code Line Tracker

Real-time visibility into your coding activity, right in the status bar.

Ever wondered how many lines you actually write or delete in a session? Now you can see it at a glance.

Features

• Live Line Counter — See +added and -deleted lines updating in real-time as you code
• Per-File Breakdown — View detailed stats for each changed file in the sidebar panel
• File Selection — Select specific files to see aggregated stats, with Select All / None shortcuts
• Sort Toggle — Switch between alphabetical (A-Z) and most-changed-first sorting
• Click to Open — Click any file in the list to jump directly to it

How It Works

1. The extension runs git diff HEAD --numstat to calculate line changes
2. Changes are debounced (1.5s) and refreshed periodically (30s)
3. The status bar shows: Total : 150 || +120 -30
4. Click the status bar item or open the "Code Line Tracker" panel in Source Control to see per-file details
