Overview
A command-line tool designed to modify lcov.info coverage files by removing specified lines or files from the coverage report. It helps developers refine test coverage data by excluding certain code sections, such as generated or boilerplate code, ensuring more accurate and meaningful coverage metrics. The tool is particularly useful in CI/CD pipelines where clean, focused coverage reports are essential. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it accessible across development environments.
