About:
duTree is a command-line utility written in Rust that visualizes disk usage with an interactive, tree-like interface. It provides a fast and efficient way to explore large directories, helping users quickly identify which files and subdirectories are consuming the most space. The tool combines the functionality of 'du' with an intuitive navigable view for streamlined disk analysis.

Key Features:

Interactive tree navigation to drill down into directories
Fast performance due to Rust implementation
Visual bar indicators for file size comparison
Respects .gitignore and supports custom ignore patterns

Use Cases:

Identifying large files or directories consuming unexpected disk space
Cleaning up old logs, caches, or temporary files in deep directory structures
Analyzing project folder sizes during development or CI/CD optimization

Alternatives:

ncdu – ncdu is a widely used, ncurses-based alternative, while dutree offers a more modern Rust implementation with similar interactive features.
dua – dua (Disk Usage Analyzer) is another modern Rust tool focused on fast aggregation and deletion, whereas dutree emphasizes an interactive tree view.
