OctoCounts – GitHub SLOC Counter

GitHub shows language bars. OctoCounts shows the actual line counts.

GitHub's sidebar shows language percentages, but misses actual file and line counts. OctoCounts adds this missing SLOC (Source Lines of Code) view to public repos without cloning.

Install the extension for stats directly on GitHub, or use the web app for public GitHub repositories. It downloads the repo archive, runs tokei, and caches the results without downloading Git history.

Why?

Sometimes you just want to know whether a repo is 2k lines, 200k lines, or a weekend-devouring monolith. GitHub already has the repo, the language stats, and the sidebar. OctoCounts fills in the missing numbers.

What it does

• Adds a browser extension card to GitHub repo pages with files, total lines, code, comments, blanks, and language count
• Provides a web app where you can paste any public GitHub repo URL
• Resolves any branch, tag, or commit SHA — pins results to an exact commit so the cache is actually meaningful
• Downloads the GitHub archive tarball instead of cloning, without Git history
• Counts files, lines, code, comments, and blanks per language via tokei
• Caches reports by repository, commit, tokei version, and analysis options — matching runs can reuse saved results
• Queues analysis jobs so concurrent requests don't bring the server to its knees
• Exports reports as plain text, JSON, or a shareable PNG card

Live repository links follow the latest cached public report. Fixed result links bind a saved report and commit, but saved records are subject to cache retention and may expire or be replaced; export JSON or text for long-term archival.

Counting scope

Every OctoCounts surface — the web app, badges, the browser extension, the CLI, the MCP server, and the indexed public report pages — counts under one default scope: documentation, test, and generated files are *excluded
