I wrote a very small utility to gather LOC counts from a git repository. Called gitsloc, it’s based on Cloc, with some extra goodness provided by Sysadm::Install (a rather inaptly named module, if you ask to me, but full of useful gems).

I guess it could actually have some uses, who knows?, but I wrote it mostly because I wanted to see how fast repos are growing, and R is the obvious tool to tinker with the results.

I’m less than a beginner with R, and I have to admit plotting data from a multi-column CSV file is less straitghforward than I expected: I had to use xyplot from the lattice package, like this:

Here the result, with data provided analysing the Dancer github repository (branch devel).
