You can calculate lines of code and language distribution by running a codebase analysis tool that traverses the file system to count lines of code, identify programming languages, and measure documentation ratios automatically.

The best way to audit a new codebase for refactoring is to generate a summary report of language statistics and line counts, allowing you to determine primary technologies and overall scale quickly.

Yes, codebase analysis with pygount supports large-scale auditing by filtering out dependency directories and build artifacts, ensuring the reported metrics accurately reflect your actual source code.

Yes, you can measure code-to-comment ratios and documentation density across a software project by calculating comment density metrics to assess overall project complexity and documentation coverage.

Yes, you need to install the pygount package in your local environment to perform file-system traversal and analysis, as the repository metrics calculation relies entirely on this utility.
