About:
Gdu is a fast disk usage analyzer written in Go, designed to provide a detailed overview of disk space consumption directly in the terminal. It scans directories recursively and presents the results in a navigable, interactive interface, allowing users to quickly identify large files and folders. Its performance and low overhead make it a modern alternative to traditional tools like ncdu.
|
Key Features:
- Fast performance due to Go concurrency
- Interactive terminal user interface
- Asynchronous filesystem scanning
- Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
|
Use Cases:
- Identifying large files consuming disk space on servers
- Cleaning up log files and temporary data
- Analyzing storage usage in restricted environments without GUI
|
Alternatives:
-
ncdu
– Gdu is significantly faster and written in Go, while ncdu is the classic standard written in C.
-
dua
– Similar modern Rust-based alternative, though Gdu focuses heavily on the interactive TUI experience.
