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. ### Timeline - 2020-02: GitHub repository created - 2020-06: 0.1.0 release published - 2020-09: 0.11.0 release published ### Related projects - Related tools include `du` for traditional disk usage summaries, `ncdu` for terminal disk usage navigation, and other Rust terminal utilities distributed through Cargo and OS package managers. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** diskonaut - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - apk - diskonaut - 0.11.0-r3: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: diskonaut from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Terminal disk space navigator | https://github.com/imsnif/diskonaut - dnf - diskonaut - 0.11.0-23.fc44: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: diskonaut from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | Terminal disk space visual navigator | https://crates.io/crates/diskonaut - pacman - diskonaut - 0.11.0-3: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: diskonaut from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | TUI disk space navigator written in rust | https://github.com/imsnif/diskonaut - MacPorts - diskonaut: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: sysutils/diskonaut/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [dfc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dfc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-usage, filesystem, system, terminal. - [agedu](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/agedu/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-usage, filesystem, system. - [diskus](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/diskus/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-usage, filesystem, system. - [dua-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dua-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-usage, filesystem, system. - [duc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/duc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-usage, filesystem, system. - [duf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/duf/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-usage, filesystem, system. - [dysk](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dysk/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-usage, filesystem, system. - [erdtree](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/erdtree/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-usage, filesystem, system. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
