About:
duf is a modern disk usage utility that provides a more user-friendly and colorful alternative to the standard 'df' command. It intelligently groups filesystems and displays usage statistics in a clean, easy-to-read layout. The tool is written in Go, making it fast, portable, and a great choice for system diagnostics.

Key Features:

Color-coded output for easy identification of usage levels
Customizable columns and sorting options
Supports JSON output for scripting and automation
Auto-hides duplicate or trivial filesystems

Use Cases:

Quickly analyzing disk space on local and remote filesystems
Monitoring storage health in server environments
Integrating into scripts for automated storage reporting

Alternatives:

df – The standard Unix utility; duf offers a more modern, readable interface with colors and better grouping.
ncdu – An interactive, terminal-based disk usage analyzer that allows for navigation; duf provides a non-interactive summary.
