polyglot – command-line tool that determines project contents

poly is a command-line tool that determines project contents.

The goal is to able to point it to any directory and get an accurate, complete, and informative summary of its contents.

Polyglot distinguishes itself from tokei, gocloc, and loc by being able to disambiguate file names. Therefore, poly will not confuse Happy for Yacc (for instance).

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Accurate: won’t confuse Coq and Verilog.
  • Fast.
  • Pretty: magenta output.
