Hello, you can do that by first cloning the repository to your local computer then counting lines. Supposing that you are using Linux or MacOS and that you have the git command installed; If you want to count lines of code of the PHP for example, you do:

git clone <git-url-of-the-repo>

cd <name-of-the-repo>

find . -name ‘*.php’ | xargs wc -l

Hope this answers your question.
