Hello I'm new to the Linux system and would like to know if there is a code or application which opens a terminal that will tell me the lines of code being used. For example, If I were to open a folder or directory I would like to know the lines of code associated with it.

If you think whatever you do in your GUI has a terminal (CLI shell: bash, csh, ...) command associated with, and for example when using your file manager you go into a directory named foo, behind the seen something like $ cd foo would happen then you are wrong.
The GUI is a shell itself just like your CLI shell (say bash). Both GUI and CLI use some kind of programming interface to talk to the kernel for handling your requests. Each have their own implementation and work their own way.
However, there is a high chance that whatever you do in GUI has an equivalent command in CLI. For knowing these commands you should read manuals, documentation and start working with CLI.
