Ever run tree and wished you could see file sizes right next to each item? Or used du -sh but missed the hierarchical clarity? Enter treefilesize — a simple but powerful command-line utility that displays directory structures along with human-readable file sizes.
Type: tree -h --du – boom. You see every folder and file with sizes in KB, MB, GB. treefilesize
treefilesize is essentially a wrapper script (bash, Python, or PowerShell) that traverses directories and outputs a tree where each file shows its size and directories show aggregated or individual sizes. Ever run tree and wished you could see
Open your terminal. Ever run du -sh and gotten confused? Or ls -la and lost track? Type: tree -h --du – boom
