Top 4 Go disk-usage Projects

duf

26 12,249 2.9 Go

Disk Usage/Free Utility - a better 'df' alternative

Project mention: Go: What We Got Right, What We Got Wrong | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-04

Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:
- gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]
- duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]
- massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]
- gotop: a `top` clone [4]
- micro: a nice TUI editor [5]
Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.
