Isn't it annoying when you open a small PR, but when you look at the diff, it's +2000 -16 because you installed a new library? Or what if you had to review that PR, don't line counts like that dissuade you from starting the review?
In reality, lots of code is generated nowadays and GitHub's line counts are not representative of a PR's true size.
This extension subtracts generated files from the total line counts, giving you a better idea of how big a PR really is. That's it. That's all it does.
Generated files are detected from the branch's root .gitattributes file. See GitHub's docs to learn how to mark a file as generated: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-files/customizing-how-changed-files-appear-on-github
For a simple example, checkout this extension's .gitattributes file! https://github.com/aklinker1/github-better-line-counts/blob/main/.gitattributes

The extension is open source. Feel free to contribute if you have any ideas or just star it ????

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
