[SOLVED] Counting lines of code in a Django project

Issue

I use this shell script to count the lines of code in a Django project,

find . -name "*.py" -type f -exec grep . {} \; | wc -l

How can I modify this to not count the migration scripts? Essentially that means not count anything inside any subfolder by the name migrations.

Solution

Given you want to exclude all files in a directory named migrations, you can add a condition to the find command:

find . -name "*.py" -type f ! -path '*/migrations/*' -exec grep . {} \; | wc -l

Note that counting the number of lines is probably easier with cloc ^[GitHub]:

cloc --not-match-d=migrations .

This will then generate a summary like:

$ cloc --not-match-d='migrations' .
     102 text files.
      86 unique files.                              
      38 files ignored.
