Folder size
du -sh
$ du -s
This displays a summary of the directory size. It is the simplest way to know the total size of the current directory.
$ df -h
Displays the same output as the previous command but the ‘-h’ indicates human readable format. Hence instead of kilobytes as the unit the output would have ‘M’ for Megabytes and ‘G’ for Gigabytes.
Most of the users don’t use the other parameters that can be passed to ‘df’. So I shall not be discussing them.
I shall in turn show you an example that I use on my machine. I have actually stored this as a script named ‘usage’ since I use it often.
