calc_oss_cost

Rough calculation of the cost to create OSS software. Point script at github repo and get table of SLOC with cost estimate. Debatable value.

CLOC

Uses this tool to scan software and gather Lines of Code statistics.

https://github.com/AlDanial/cloc

In this case I use the docker image. So you will need to have docker installed be connected to the internet.

Python3

Script uses bash and Python3

Install

1. Pull CLOC docker image
2. Clone this repo
3. Change directory into the repo
4. Make sure the script git_cloc.sh is executable

% docker load mribeiro/cloc
% git clone https://github.com/schnorea/calc_oss_cost.git
% cd calc_oss_cost
% chmod +x git_cloc.sh

To Run

1. Find Github repo you would like to estimate the cost on and copy the repo cloning url
2. Run git_cloc.sh script with repo clone url string
3. Examine cloc_out.json for statistics and cost estimate

Find repo clone url

Image goes here

% ./git_cloc.sh  https://github.com/Retail-Edge-Platform/Retail-Edge-Platform.git

Output in cloc_out.json would look like this
