### From source

Make sure you have a working Go environment (Go 1.23 or higher is required).
See the [install instructions](https://golang.org/doc/install.html).

Compiling duf is easy, simply run:

    git clone https://github.com/muesli/duf.git
    cd duf
    go build

## Usage

You can simply start duf without any command-line arguments:

    duf

If you supply arguments, duf will only list specific devices & mount points:

    duf /home /some/file

If you want to list everything (including pseudo, duplicate, inaccessible file systems):

    duf --all

### Filtering

You can show and hide specific tables:

    duf --only local,network,fuse,special,loops,binds
    duf --hide local,network,fuse,special,loops,binds

You can also show and hide specific filesystems:

    duf --only-fs tmpfs,vfat
    duf --hide-fs tmpfs,vfat

...or specific mount points:

    duf --only-mp /,/home,/dev
    duf --hide-mp /,/home,/dev

Wildcards inside quotes work:

    duf --only-mp '/sys/*,/dev/*'

### Display options

Sort the output:

    duf --sort size

Valid keys are: `mountpoint`, `size`, `used`, `avail`, `usage`, `inodes`,
`inodes_used`, `inodes_avail`, `inodes_usage`, `type`, `filesystem`.

Show or hide specific columns:

    duf --output mountpoint,size,usage

Valid keys are: `mountpoint`, `size`, `used`, `avail`, `usage`, `inodes`,
`inodes_used`, `inodes_avail`, `inodes_usage`, `type`, `filesystem`.

List inode information instead of block usage:

    duf --inodes

If duf doesn't detect your terminal's colors correctly, you can set a theme:

    duf --theme light

### Color-coding & Thresholds

duf highlights the availability & usage columns in red, green, or yellow,
depending on how much space is still available. You can set your own thresholds:

    duf --avail-threshold="10G,1G"
    duf --usage-threshold="0.5,0.9"

### Bonus

If you prefer your output as JSON:

    duf --json

## Troubleshooting

Users of `oh-my-zsh` should be aware that it already defines an alias called
`duf`, which you will have to remove in order to use `duf`:

    unalias duf
