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.
