gdu

I have personally moved to gdu (https://github.com/dundee/gdu) as I found it to be way faster than ncdu (I haven't checked the fork but I don't expect it to improve that much). 1 minute vs 1 second for my entire / which includes mounts to NFS shares (used 1.4 TiB on host SSD, 14 TiB on NFS HDDs and 3 TiB on NFS SSD).

> I rushed to run du -sh on everything I could, as that’s as good as I could manage. I recently came across gdu (1) and have installed/used it on every machine since then. [1]: https://github.com/dundee/gdu

See also `gdu` for an `ncdu` more suited to SSDs: https://github.com/dundee/gdu

Seems like a pretty good collection of a lot of the tools I hear about these days, and also use myself sometimes. I also like `fx`, which is like a combination of `jq` and `gdu`. https://fx.wtf/ Oh, and also `gdu`, which is like `ndu` but faster: https://github.com/dundee/gdu

Nice work! There is also gdu[1], where the UI is heavily inspired by ncdu and somehow feels way faster... 1: https://github.com/dundee/gdu

Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow: - gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1] - duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2] - massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3] - gotop: a `top` clone [4] - micro: a nice TUI editor [5] Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

For anyone that likes ncdu I would highly recommend gdu. https://github.com/dundee/gdu

While ncdu does the job I've found gdu (similar tool written in Go) significantly faster for larger directories. https://github.com/dundee/gdu

I think https://github.com/dundee/gdu is faster than ncdu
