Excluding hidden files from du command output with

Question

I'm trying to check with Disk Usage tool how big are my home directory folders but it also prints out folders and files starting with dot.

I can't seem to filter them out.

du -h --exclude="?"
du -h | grep -v "?"
du -h | grep -ve "?"
du -h | sed "?"

Thanks in advance.

edit> Thank you SiegeX for you answer.

du -h --max-depth=1 | grep -v "./\\."

Since dot matches any character we have to prefix it with double backslash since its also a special character.

Answer 1

If running du with no specified path (current dir), use this:

du -h --exclude "./.*"
