duf

Duf is a command-line disk usage utility that provides a convenient and user-friendly way to find out how much disk space is being used by files and directories on your system. It displays the disk usage in a hierarchical format, allowing you to quickly identify the largest directories or files that are taking up space.

Duf is designed to be fast, efficient, and visually appealing. It provides color-coded output for easy readability and supports different sorting options to help you analyze disk usage effectively. Additionally, it offers a simple, intuitive interface that makes it accessible even to users who are not familiar with complex command-line tools.

One of the notable features of Duf is its ability to display separate disk usage statistics for different mount points and partitions. This can be particularly helpful on systems with multiple drives or network mounts, allowing you to see how much space is being used on each individual disk or partition.
