Find files with largest amount of lines in your project
Ever needed to find the file with the largest amount of lines in your project? Use the snippet below to list all files and their line count, neatly sorted from smallest to largest.
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 wc -l | sort -n
This translates to the following:
find . -type f -print0 # Find all regular files in this dir and pipe them into xargs with \0 as separators.
xargs -0 wc -l # For each file contents, count the amount of lines in it and...
sort -n # Sort them numerically.
