gdu: Ignore hidden directories.
$ gdu --no-hidden
try on your machine
The command "gdu --no-hidden" is used to display disk usage summary, excluding hidden files and directories.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "gdu" is the name of the command or program being invoked. It stands for "Graphical Disk Usage".
- "--no-hidden" is an option or flag used with the "gdu" command. This option instructs the command to exclude hidden files and directories from the disk usage summary. Hidden files and directories typically have their names starting with a dot (.), and they are often used to store configuration or system-related information.
By using the "--no-hidden" option, the command will calculate and display the disk usage summary for all non-hidden files and directories, giving you a clearer view of the space occupied by visible or user-created files and directories on your disk.
