GitHub: Better Line Counts 作成者: Aaron

Isn't it annoying when you open a small PR, but when you look at the diff, it's +2000 -16 because you installed a new library? Or what if you had to review that PR, don't line counts like that dissuade you from starting the review?

In reality, lots of code is generated nowadays and GitHub's line counts are not representative of a PR's true size.

This extension subtracts generated files from the total line counts, giving you a better idea of how big a PR really is. That's it. That's all it does.

Generated files are detected from the branch's root .gitattributes file. See GitHub's docs to learn how to mark a file as generated: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-files/customizing-how-changed-files-appear-on-github

For a simple example, checkout this extension's .gitattributes file! https://github.com/aklinker1/github-better-line-counts/blob/main/.gitattributes

The extension is open source. Feel free to contribute if you have any ideas or just star it 😀
