As of 2026-08-30 (commit 079a789e8cb0), helix-editor/helix contains 565,711 total lines: 151,061 code, 387,854 comments, 26,796 blank, across 1,937 files in 87 languages (top: Rust 55.5%). Counted with tokei via OctoCounts.
OctoCounts produced this report by resolving helix-editor/helix to commit 079a789e8cb0, 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 large codebase by counted code lines. Code represents 26.7% of all lines, comments represent 68.6%, and the repository averages 78 code lines per file. Rust accounts for 55.5% of counted code.
