history

Project history and usage

diskonaut is a Rust terminal disk-space navigator that scans a path, builds an in-memory view of filesystem metadata, and presents the result as an interactive treemap. In package-manager terms it sits between classic `du` output and full terminal UI cleanup tools: small enough to install as a single CLI, but visual enough to make disk cleanup exploratory.

Project history

The GitHub repository was created in February 2020, with public release tags beginning at 0.1.0 in June 2020 and reaching 0.11.0 in September 2020. The README describes a tool that can scan a directory while allowing navigation through subfolders and deletion of files or folders during the same session.

Adoption history

The upstream README documents several packaging routes, including Cargo for Linux, macOS, and Windows, distribution packages or overlays for Fedora/CentOS, Arch, Gentoo, Nix/NixOS, FreeBSD, and Homebrew on macOS. That packaging spread made diskonaut recognizable as part of the Rust wave of modern replacements and complements for older Unix storage utilities.

How it is used

Users typically start `diskonaut` in the directory they want to inspect, or pass a path such as a home directory or filesystem root. Its value is in keeping the scan, navigation, visual size comparison, and cleanup loop inside one terminal program.

Why package nerds care

diskonaut matters to package nerds because it is a compact example of how Rust terminal applications became normal occupants of system package indexes: cross-platform, Cargo-installable, distributed as prebuilt releases, and also packaged by traditional Unix-style package managers.
