du only for directories

In C-Shell, how can I get the same output as du -sh ./* but without listing the files in the root dir, i.e. just a list of subdirectories in ./ and the sizes of all their contents?


Add a trailing slash, like:

du -sh ./*/

Duplicate answer as above just adding sort and flag to display size in a human-readable format

du -sh */ | sort -hr

Outputs:

44G     workspace/
24G     Downloads/
6.2G    Videos/
1.5G    Pictures/
189M    Music/
12M     Documents/
8.0K    Postman/
8.0K    Desktop/

You may also like to add a threshold

du -sh */ -t 100M | sort -hr

Outputs:

44G     workspace/
24G     Downloads/
6.2G    Videos/
1.5G    Pictures/
189M    Music/
