dust
A more intuitive version of du in rust
INSTALLATION
$ cargo install du-dust$ brew install dust$ snap install dust$ scoop install dust$ pacstall -I dust-bin
DESCRIPTION
Dust is an intuitive, Rust-based alternative to the traditional du command for analyzing disk space usage.
It intelligently recurses down directory trees and presents file sizes using a visual, color-coded ASCII tree structure.
By automatically highlighting the largest space hogs, it eliminates the need for complex formatting or depth flags.
