How to find out how many lines of code there are in an Xcode project?

Question

Is there a way to determine how many lines of code an Xcode project contains? I promise not to use such information for managerial measurement or employee benchmarking purp

Answer 1

Open up Terminal.app, go into your project's root directory, and run this command:

For Swift only:

find . \( -iname \*.swift \) -exec wc -l '{}' \+

For Obj-C only:

find . \( -iname \*.m -o -iname \*.mm -o -iname \*.h \) -exec wc -l '{}' \+

For Obj-C + Swift:

find . \( -iname \*.m -o -iname \*.mm -o -iname \*.h -o -iname \*.swift \) -exec wc -l '{}' \+

For Obj-C + Swift + C + C++:

find . \( -iname \*.m -o -iname \*.mm -o -iname \*.c -o -iname \*.cc -o -iname \*.h -o -iname \*.hh -o -iname \*.hpp -o -iname \*.cpp -o -iname \*.swift \) -exec wc -l '{}' \+

Terminal quick tips:
ls: list directory contents
cd: change directory
Press tab to autocomplete
Remember to put "\" backslash before spaces
I suggest going one folder down from the main project so you get rid of code count from the frameworks
