treesize

CI status:

treesize is a small command-line utility for listing a directory tree sorted by size. It's main goal is to quickly provide an overview of what is taking up the most space in a tree, so by default it will only list the 5 largest entries in the specified directory (and summarize the rest):

> treesize
.               99.4  MiB  (Σ)
├── target      99.4  MiB  (Σ)
├── src         13.4  KiB  (Σ)
├── Cargo.lock  4.9   KiB
├── README.md   3.2   KiB
├── LICENSE     1.1   KiB
└── ...         271   B    (Σ)

You can use these options to tweak the output listing (traversal of the tree is not affected):

-d <max-depth>          Maximal directory depth to recurse, or -1 for infinite [default: 0]
-e <max-entries>        Maximum number of entries to display per directory, or -1 for infinite [default: 5]
-s <size-format>        How to format node sizes: h/human – powers of 1024, H/si – powers of 1000, r/raw – no
                        folding [default: human]

For example:

> treesize -d2 -e3
.                          99.4   MiB  (Σ)

Flags that affect the traversal include:

-a                   List all files (including dotfiles)
-L                   Follow any symbolic links encountered
--one-file-system    Stay in the same file system when listing
