# bd count

> Count issues matching filters

Generated from `bd help --doc count`.

Count issues matching the specified filters.

By default, returns the total count of issues matching the filters.
Use --by-\* flags to group counts by different attributes.

Examples:
bd count                          # Count all issues
bd count --status open            # Count open issues
bd count --by-status              # Group count by status
bd count --by-priority            # Group count by priority
bd count --by-type                # Group count by issue type
bd count --by-assignee            # Group count by assignee
bd count --by-label               # Group count by label
bd count --assignee alice --by-status  # Count alice's issues by status
bd count --include-infra          # Count issues + wisps tier (matches 'bd list --include-infra --all' cardinality)

```
