Solution

gdu — Disk usage analyzer with console interface. More information: <https://github.com/dundee/gdu#usage>.

Interactively show the disk usage of the current directory:

gdu

Interactively show the disk usage of a given directory:

gdu {{path/to/directory}}

Interactively show the disk usage of all mounted disks:

gdu --show-disks

Interactively show the disk usage of the current directory but ignore some sub-directories:

gdu --ignore-dirs {{path/to/directory1,path/to/directory2,...}}

Ignore paths by regex:

gdu --ignore-dirs-pattern '{{.*[abc]+}}'

Ignore hidden directories:

gdu --no-hidden

Only print the result, do not enter interactive mode:

gdu --non-interactive {{path/to/directory}}

Do not show the progress in non-interactive mode (useful in scripts):

gdu --no-progress {{path/to/directory}}
