What is the unix command to see how much disk spac

Question

I'm looking for the equivalent of right clicking on the drive in windows and seeing the disk space used and remaining info.

Answer 1

I love doing du -sh * | sort -nr | less to sort by the largest files first

Answer 2

All these answers are superficially correct. However, the proper answer is

 apropos disk   # And pray your admin maintains the whatis database

because asking questions the answers of which lay at your fingertips in the manual wastes everybody's time.

df -g .

Option g for Size in GBs Block and . for current working directory.

Answer 5

df -h

Answer 6

df -tk
