I am looking for any extension on visual studio code for tracking how many lines I have written by day, maybe export this information to a file.

Could you know something able to do it?

    This is not a 'general computing' question at all, as one close voter decided for some reason. It *is*, however, off-topic, since it is asking for tool recommendations. – TylerH Aug 01 '22 at 17:44

You can use the WakaTime plugin. WakaTime is also compatible with other editors. Therefore, the use of WakaTime is more preferable. Other alternatives for Visual Studio Code to keep track of code metrics include:

Sercan

  • 3
  • 17
  • 36
  • perfect, do you know if it gets a long time for synchronizing de collected data to the server?? I have installed and pushed the API Key, but the data was not synchronized yet. – Cleriston Martins Cardoso Aug 01 '22 at 12:27
  • I've been using WakaTime in the past with a repo on GitHub. I was only getting the WakaTime metrics automatically at the end of the day using a workflow. The WakaTime plugin is most likely running in real time locally. However, the transmission of data to the server side may not be real-time. Therefore, you may have to wait for the end of the day. – Sercan Aug 01 '22 at 12:47
  • I tested it now. The Wakatime plugin syncs my recent code editing actions from Visual Studio Code by posting them to the Wakatime Dashboard. [Test](https://i.stack.imgur.com/irun7.png) – Sercan Aug 01 '22 at 12:53
