GitHub Better Line Counts

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.

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
