Good start on this task. Reading through it, I can see you have put thought into these implementations, but they feel a little bit over-engineered, and at times are a bit difficult to see how the data is flowing through them. I've got a few questions for you to answer which might help me better understand your thinking.

Here, when you are doing things like if args.a …, then you set something to True. What benefit is there doing it this way over just referencing args.a when you need it?

What do you use the cwd for in this program?

There are multiple places where you use remove_dot_files in this program. Is there a reason for that?

Why are you using the Path / expression here?

Is there a reason the word count method has a different structure to your line count method?

Do you need to loop over metrics and then check if it is in displayed_metrics? Could you simplify this?
