About This Launch
OctoCounts is a free web tool for counting the size of public GitHub repositories without cloning. Paste a repository URL and it downloads a single pinned commit, runs tokei, and returns totals for files, lines, code, comments, and blanks, with per-language breakdowns, shareable reports, badges, comparisons, and export formats.
It is aimed at developers, open-source maintainers, engineering teams, and researchers who need a clear count before adopting, forking, or studying a codebase.
Why I Built This
GitHub shows byte-based language percentages but not actual line counts, so answering a simple question meant cloning the repository and running a local tool. OctoCounts turns that routine into a shareable, commit-pinned URL.
