About:
ParallelDiskUsage is a command-line tool designed for rapid analysis of directory sizes. It leverages parallel processing to scan large file systems significantly faster than traditional utilities like 'du'. The output is a visual, space-allocated tree that helps identify large files and directories efficiently.
Key Features:
  • Highly parallelized for maximum speed
  • Visual tree output with bars
  • Respects .gitignore and other ignore files
  • Cross-platform support
Use Cases:
  • Identifying large files consuming disk space
  • Analyzing project directory structures
  • Monitoring server storage usage
Alternatives:
  • du – Standard Unix tool, significantly slower on large trees
  • ncdu – Interactive disk usage analyzer, but not parallelized
