Find the files that are taking up your space.
Tired of looking like a noob with Disk Inventory X or SpaceMonger? Do you want something that
- can do the job
- works in terminal
- makes you look cool
- is written in Golang
- you can contribute to
??
Well then look no more and try out the godu.
go get -u github.com/viktomas/godu
You can specify names of ignored folders in .goduignore in your home directory:
> cat ~/.goduignore
node_modules
>
I found that I could reduce time it took to crawl through the whole drive to 25% when I started ignoring all node_modules which cumulatively contain gigabytes of small text files.
The .goduignore is currently only supporting whole folder names. PR that will make it work like .gitignore is welcomed.
godu ~
godu -l 100 / # walks the whole root but shows only files larger than 100MB
Mind you -l <size_limit_in_mb> option is not speeding up the walking process, it just allows you to filter small files you are not interested in from the output. The default limit is 10MB.
