ncdu - NCurses Disk Usage

apt-get install ncdu

SYNOPSIS
ncdu [options] dir

DESCRIPTION
ncdu (NCurses Disk Usage) is a curses-based version of the well-known 'du', and provides a fast way to see what directories are using your disk space.

Output looks like this:

ncdu 1.10 ~ Use the arrow keys to navigate, press ? for help                       
--- /var/www/freifunk -------------------------------------------------------------
  470,7MiB [##########] /firmware                                                  
  240,8MiB [#####     ] /ffki-firmware
  157,9MiB [###       ] /gluon-alfred-vis
  102,6MiB [##        ]  chaosradio_162.mp3
  100,2MiB [##        ] /ffki-startseite
   99,6MiB [##        ] /ffki-startseite-origin
   72,3MiB [#         ] /startseite
   66,2MiB [#         ] /metameute-startseite
   35,2MiB [          ] /startseite_site
   11,9MiB [          ] /jungebuehne

ncdu is nice, cause you can install it via apt on debian. Only colors would be cool and an export function that does not use the whole screen.

gt5 - a diff-capable 'du-browser'

gt5 looks quite the same, and there are some colors, but they have no meaning (only all files and folders are green). gt5 is also available via apt:

sudo apt-get install gt5
