dutree
colorful disk usage tree visualizer
TLDR
Show graphical tree of current directory
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 automatically aggregates small items below a 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 default depth limit of 1 prevents overwhelming output, but can be adjusted for deeper analysis. The tool is particularly useful for quick space audits and identifying directories suitable for cleanup.
PARAMETERS
--aggr size
Aggregate items smaller than size (K, M, G)--depth n
Maximum depth (default: 1)--files-only
Skip directories--no-hidden
Exclude hidden files-x, --exclude pattern
Exclude files matching pattern
CAVEATS
Requires terminal with color support for best visualization. Large directories may take time to scan.
