Just what I need. Simple, powerful, terminal
This little utility is excellent. I install it on every linux box to be able to quickly check usage of storage space, and drill down as necessary for more detail. Perfect
If you are familiar with terminal, it's pretty friendly and easy to use
Can not imagine it being easier to use. Ncdu displays disk usage in a very intuitive way from the terminal.
