It reports file, blank, comment, and code counts by language, with CLI and container workflows. ### Project history The public repository was created in April 2016. The README describes the project as a little fast cloc-style counter written in Go and explicitly cites tokei as an inspiration. GitHub release records show the v0.2.1 release in March 2019 and later 0.x releases through the 2020s. ### Adoption history gocloc is packaged for Homebrew and is also documented for AUR installation in the README. Its packaging profile is typical of developer metrics tools: small binary, no service, useful in local repositories and CI jobs. ### How it is used Users run gocloc against a directory to print per-language totals, request supported languages with --show-lang, or run it through Docker. The README also documents Jenkins/SLOCCount-oriented output workflows, making it useful both at the terminal and in reporting pipelines. ### Why package nerds care The package is interesting as part of the lineage from cloc to newer compiled counters such as tokei and gocloc. For package managers, it is a low-friction developer-tool formula: install one executable and use it across repositories without managing a Perl or Rust toolchain at runtime. ### Timeline - 2016-04-01: Public GitHub repository created - 2019-03-02: v0.2.1 release published - 2021-02-19: v0.4.0 release published - 2023-05-06: v0.5.0 release published - 2025-03-24: v0.7.0 release published ### Related projects - cloc is the predecessor-style tool named in the README. - tokei is explicitly cited by gocloc as an inspiration. - SLOCCount appears in the README's Jenkins integration workflow. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** gocloc - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [gnu-complexity](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gnu-complexity/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-analysis, code-metrics, developer-tools, metrics. - [lizard-analyzer](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/lizard-analyzer/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-analysis, code-metrics, developer-tools, metrics. - [ohcount](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ohcount/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-analysis, developer-tools, metrics. - [pmccabe](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pmccabe/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-analysis, code-metrics, developer-tools. - [tokei](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tokei/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-analysis, code-metrics, developer-tools. - [cargo-llvm-lines](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cargo-llvm-lines/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-analysis, developer-tools. - [castxml](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/castxml/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-analysis, developer-tools. - [ccheck](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ccheck/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-analysis, developer-tools. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
