Output should look something like the below for the redis project

`scc` mostly supports .ignore files inside directories that it scans. This is similar to how ripgrep, ag and tokei work. .ignore files are 100% the same as .gitignore files with the same syntax, and as such `scc` will ignore files and directories listed in them. You can add .ignore files to ignore things like vendored dependency checked in files and such. The idea is allowing you to add a file or folder to git and have ignored in the count.

It also supports its own ignore file `.sccignore` if you want `scc` to ignore things while having ripgrep, ag, tokei and others support them.
