A command-line tool to count tokens in files and folders using GPT-4 tokenization.

• Supports multiple file types: .md, .txt, .json, .csv
• Excludes common non-text files and directories
• Uses GPT-4 tokenization method
• No API key or internet connection required

Installation

Usage

You can use the command tokens to count tokens in a file or directory.

Count Tokens in a File

tokens <path-to-file>

Example:

tokens /path/to/your/file.txt

Count Tokens in a Directory

tokens <path-to-directory>

Example:

tokens /path/to/your/directory

Adding Alias to zshrc

To make it easier to use, you can add an alias to your ~/.zshrc file:

echo "alias 'tokens file'='tokens'" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Now you can use the command tokens file <path> to count tokens in any file.

Configuration

The tool uses a config.json file to specify which file types to include and exclude. Here is an example configuration:

{
  "include": ["**/*.md", "**/*.txt", "**/*.json", "**/*.csv"],
  "exclude": ["node_modules/**", "**/*.log", "**/*.pdf", "**/*.docx", "**/*.xlsx", "**/*.xls", "**/*.pptx", "**/*.ppt", "**/*.odt", "**/*.ods", "**/*.odp"]
}
