I found a good link which lists good usages of the Linux command “du”.
This command allows me to see the usage in a ascending sort which is really helpful.
Tested on Linux.
du -h / | sort -h
Tested on Mac OS.
du -hs * | gsort -h
In case you don’t have gsort install coreutils.
brew install coreutils
This variation allows me to see any line which has the text “G” in it which basically allows me to see folders using space in GBs. Agreed it might give some folder names as well with “G” in it but I can bear with it.
Tested on Linux.
du -h /the/path | sort -h | grep "G"
Tested on Mac OS.
du -h /the/path | gsort -h | grep "G"
