Using the command:
wc -l + `find . -name \* -print`
You can get the total number of lines of all files inside a folder.
But imagine you have some folders (for example libraries), which you don't want to count their lines because you didn't write them.
So, how would you count the lines in a project excluding certain folders?

Cloc can be used to count lines in particular file or in multiple files within directory. To use cloc simply type cloc followed by the file or directory which you wish to examine. Now lets run cloc on it. As you can see it counted the number of files, blank lines, comments and lines of code.
Use os. walk to traverse the files and sub directories, use endswith to filter the files you want to count, open each file and use sum(1 for line in f) to count the lines, aggregate all the file line counts.
The easiest way to count files in a directory on Linux is to use the “ls” command and pipe it with the “wc -l” command. The “wc” command is used on Linux in order to print the bytes, characters or newlines count. However, in this case, we are using this command to count the number of files in a directory.
To do that, you would use dir -Recurse -Include *. txt .
With find, you can also "negate" matching conditions with !. For example, if I want to list all the .java files in a directory, excluding those containing Test:
find . -name "*.java" ! -name "*Test*"
Hope this helps!
Edit:
By the way, the -name predicate only filters file names. If you want to filter paths (so you can filter directories), use -path:
find . -path "*.java" ! -path "*Test*"

cloc has always been a great friend whenever I need to count lines of src-code. Using 2.6.29 linux kernel as an example:
$ cloc .
26667 text files.
26357 unique files.
2782 files ignored.
