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/
