Measure Lines of Code and PHP Features Used image

Lines is a CLI tool by Tomas Votruba that measures lines of code and features used in PHP projects. It has zero dependencies, runs anywhere, and provides PHP-specific metrics such as the number of classes, the number of public methods, and more:

$ vendor/bin/lines measure app/
