This page compares the source lines of code (SLOC) of helm/helm and kubernetes-sigs/kustomize using cached OctoCounts reports. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.
As of 2026-08-26, helm/helm contains 123,411 total lines (87,905 code) across 1,695 files, while kubernetes-sigs/kustomize contains 189,486 total lines (148,609 code) across 1,179 files as of 2026-08-26. kubernetes-sigs/kustomize is about 1.7x the size of helm/helm by code lines. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.

Top languages in helm/helm: Go (88.5% of code), YAML (8.7% of code), BASH (0.8% of code). Top languages in kubernetes-sigs/kustomize: Go (92.1% of code), JSON (3.8% of code), YAML (2.4% of code). Go, YAML, JSON appear in both top language lists; BASH, Pan appear only in helm/helm's top languages; Shell, Makefile appear only in kubernetes-sigs/kustomize's top languages.
Methodology: both counts come from cached OctoCounts reports generated with tokei. helm/helm was counted at ref main (commit d62bee21c2dd) on 2026-08-26; kubernetes-sigs/kustomize was counted at ref master (commit 3fd96a0bfbb7) on 2026-08-26. See the counting methodology for ignored directories and analysis options.
Evidence and next steps:
Note: code size is not code quality. OctoCounts only reports reproducible line counts and makes no claim that either project is better.
kubernetes-sigs/kustomize has more code: 148,609 code lines versus 87,905 for helm/helm, about 1.7x as much, based on cached OctoCounts reports as of 2026-08-26.
Not necessarily. SLOC measures size, not complexity, quality, or maintainability. A larger codebase can mean more features, more generated or vendored code, more verbose language idioms, or more tests — none of which imply the code is harder to work with. Use SLOC to gauge the scale of what you'd be reading or maintaining, not as a quality signal for helm/helm, kubernetes-sigs/kustomize, or any repository.
