Calculate disk usage of a model

[miquelduranfrigola]

Background

When a model is downloaded with the fetch command, the corresponding GitHub repository is cloned, including Git LFS files. As of now, there is no way to know the size of the downloaded files before cloning. In addition, a conda environment or a docker container is created after download. We do not have a way of estimating the size of such environments/containers. Therefore, we are unable to inform the user about the size of the model they are about to fetch.

Requested feature

We would like to calculate total disk usage of a model before fetching it. This includes:

• Size of files from GitHub (including Git LFS)
• Size of conda environment or docker container

Hey there!
I have experience with Software Development for ML tools, and would love to contribute here! I have set up Ersilia and have been going through the codebase. Can I take this up?

Hello @Riyabelle25,

This is great thanks. To tackle this issue can you please first answer in issue #36 ?

@GemmaTuron thanks!
I've made a PR to fix this issue first, will then move to the other issues I showed an interest in (if they're still open then)
