Tokei's changelog follows Keep a Changelog and Semantic Versioning. Recent entries show continued maintenance through the 13.0.0 alpha series in 2024 and 2025, and a 14.0.0 release dated 2025-12-26 with additional language support such as C++20 modules, Ark TypeScript, and Koka. ### Adoption history The upstream README lists package-manager installs across Unix, macOS, and Windows: apk, pacman, Cargo, conda-forge, dnf, FreeBSD pkg, NetBSD pkgin, Nix, zypper, Void, Homebrew, MacPorts, winget, and Scoop. The input facts independently list Homebrew, Debian, Fedora/DNF, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, Scoop, winget, and openSUSE. The README also advertises crates.io, GitHub, Homebrew, Chocolatey, and Repology badges, reflecting the project's package-manager-centered distribution culture. ### How it is used Typical use is pointing tokei at one or more source directories to get a language-by-language table. It respects .gitignore, .ignore, and .tokeignore by default, can exclude paths, sort by statistics columns, print per-file counts, and emit JSON, YAML, or CBOR for downstream tools. Because tokei can read prior output back in, it also supports workflows that snapshot code statistics and combine them with later runs. ### Why package nerds care Tokei is significant in the package-nerd niche because it is both a benchmarkable Rust CLI and a widely packaged developer utility. It is small enough to install casually, but broad enough to become a standard smoke-test tool for language detection, ignore-file behavior, terminal output, and package metadata across many ecosystems. Its long package-manager list and machine-readable output make it useful for maintainers comparing source trees, release artifacts, vendored code, or language mix without bringing in a full analytics stack. ### Timeline - Current: README documents support for Mac, Linux, and Windows, more than 150 languages, JSON/YAML/CBOR output, and library use. - 2024-03-04: 13.0.0-alpha.1 changelog entry added maintenance and language-data updates. - 2025-07-21: 13.0.0-alpha.9 changelog entry included Markdown CRLF and mixed-line-ending fixes. - 2025-12-26: 14.0.0 changelog entry added C++20 modules and Ark TypeScript support. ### Related projects - Tokei belongs to the same utility family as cloc and scc, though the cited upstream material emphasizes Tokei's own speed, accuracy, language coverage, and Rust library interface. - Repology, Homebrew, Cargo, winget, Scoop, and distribution package managers are part of the adoption surface documented by the README and input facts. ### Sources -
