pviotti / szb

A terminal-based file browser to reclaim disk space.

Sizable

Sizable (szb) helps answering this question quickly: what files or folders are eating up my disk space?

Through a text-based user interface similar to mc or ranger, it lets you browse the file system tree and delete the useless files and directories that take up space.¹

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : this is a work-in-progress project. Feel free to reach out and open issues or prepare PR if you want to contribute. 🤓

📰 UPDATE 📰 : I found ncdu, which does much of what I need, so I don't think I'll actively work on this anymore.

Usage

To only print the result for the input folder, you can use the -p flag.

USAGE: szb [--help] [--version] [--print-only] [<path>]

INPUT:

    <path>                the directory to analyse (default: current directory)

OPTIONS:

    --version             print szb version
    --print-only, -p      output the results to screen and exit
    --help                display this list of options.

_{1: Notice that, as suggested here, with ranger you can achieve more or less the same result, but just for a single level in the file system hierarchy. Besides ranger doesn't run natively on Windows.}
