git clone https://github.com/arnavgrg/LinesCounter.git

The permission '750' provides the user with rwx permissions, the group with rx permissions, where:

• r: read
• w: write
• x: execute

Executing the file

General Format: ./projectLines [path/of/directory]

If not specified, the default path is taken to be the current directory, that is, the directory in which the code is being executed.

Option 1: ./projectLines.sh
Output: Found 2389 lines of code in the root directory .

Option 2: ./projectLines.sh sample-project
Output: Found 4345 lines of code in ./sample-project/ .

To see the help page:

Option 1: ./projectLines.sh -h
**OR**
Option 2: ./projectLines.sh -help
**OR**
Option 3: ./projectLines.sh --help

Redirecting Output

If you want to save the output into a file instead of printing it out to the bash terminal, you can run the command like this:

./projectLines.sh sample-project &> lines.txt

This will redirect both stdout and stderr to the file lines.txt
