As of 2026-08-15 (commit 7047a08f1bd3), NixOS/nixpkgs contains 5,475,534 total lines: 4,622,105 code, 419,722 comments, 433,707 blank, across 44,874 files in 73 languages (top: Nix 75.8%). Counted with tokei via OctoCounts.
OctoCounts produced this report by resolving NixOS/nixpkgs to commit 7047a08f1bd3, downloading the repository source archive, and counting every source file with tokei, the open-source line counter written in Rust. The table below breaks the count down by programming language into files, total lines, code lines, comment lines, and blank lines, so the figures can be compared across languages and projects. Results are cached by commit, tokei version, and analysis options, so counting the same revision again reproduces exactly these numbers.
This is a very large codebase by counted code lines. Code represents 84.4% of all lines, comments represent 7.7%, and the repository averages 103 code lines per file. Nix accounts for 75.8% of counted code.
