Projektgeschichte

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.

Adoptionsgeschichte

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.

Wie es verwendet wird

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.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

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.
