ncdu: Colorize output.

ncdu

$ ncdu --color ${select}

try on your machine

This command is using the ncdu tool to scan a directory or disk usage and display the results with color highlighting.

The ncdu stands for "NCurses Disk Usage" and it is a command-line tool that provides a detailed and interactive summary of disk usage.

The --color option is used to enable color highlighting in the output. This helps to visually differentiate different directories, files, and file types based on their sizes and usage.

${select} typically represents a variable or placeholder that should be replaced with an actual value when running the command. It could be the path to a specific directory or disk that you want to scan with ncdu. For example, you can replace ${select} with /home/myuser/Documents to scan and display the disk usage of that particular directory.

By running this command, you will get a colorized and interactive breakdown of disk usage in the specified directory or disk.
