dutree
colorful disk usage tree visualizer
TLDR
SYNOPSIS
dutree [options] [path]
DESCRIPTION
dutree is a disk usage analyzer that presents filesystem information as a colorful, hierarchical tree structure. Unlike traditional du output, dutree provides an intuitive visual representation that makes it easy to identify space-consuming directories at a glance.The tool uses color coding and tree branches to show the relationship between directories and their contents, with file sizes displayed prominently. It can aggregate small items below a configurable threshold to keep the output readable and focused on the largest space consumers.Written in Rust for performance, dutree handles large directory trees efficiently. The depth can be limited with -d to prevent overwhelming output. The tool is particularly useful for quick space audits and identifying directories suitable for cleanup.
