duBE — du But Easier: enhanced disk usage analyser with tree view, sort, filters and clean output

duBE — du But Easier

Enhanced disk usage analyser — a cleaner, more powerful du replacement with tree view, sorting, filters and readable output.

---

✨ Features

• 🌲 Tree view (--tree) — visual directory hierarchy with cumulative sizes per branch
• 📊 Sort by size — --sort asc / --sort desc
• 🕐 Modification time — --time shows last-modified date alongside each entry
• 🚫 Smart exclusions — skip directories, zero-size entries, or entries below a threshold
• 📏 Apparent size — actual file content vs. disk blocks
• 🌈 Clean, color-coded output — readable at a glance without visual noise

---

📥 Installation

pip install dube

Or clone locally:

git clone https://github.com/serber1990/duBE.git
