It became one of the recognizable modern Unix-tool rewrites: small scope, nicer defaults, JSON output, and cross-platform packages. ### Project history The public release series started in September 2020 and moved quickly through several 0.x releases. The README positions duf as a better df alternative for Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows, with color, sorting, grouping, filtering, and JSON output. Later releases kept the same core shape instead of expanding into a full disk analyzer. That stable scope is part of its appeal: it modernizes the one command people already know without replacing larger tools such as ncdu. ### Adoption history duf's README documents packaging across Arch, Debian and Ubuntu, Fedora, Nix, Void, Gentoo, Solus, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Homebrew, MacPorts, Chocolatey, Scoop, and Termux. Its broad package-manager footprint and GitHub popularity made it a common recommendation in terminal-tool lists. ### How it is used Typical use is simply running duf to inspect mounted filesystems, then adding filters for mount points, filesystem types, table groups, columns, or sorting. JSON output makes it useful in scripts and monitoring checks where df's human output is awkward. ### Why package nerds care duf is package-nerd shorthand for the wave of polished, single-purpose Go and Rust replacements for classic Unix commands. It keeps df's job but adds terminal-aware output and packaging for every major desktop and server environment. ### Timeline - 2020: v0.1.0 published and the project entered a rapid early release cycle. - 2021: 0.6.x releases continued cross-platform packaging. - 2022: v0.8.x shipped as the project matured. - 2025: v0.9.x releases refreshed the package after a quieter period. ### Related projects - df is the direct command-line ancestor and comparison point. - ncdu is adjacent in disk-usage inspection, but duf focuses on mounted filesystem summaries rather than interactive directory analysis. - Other modern CLI rewrites, such as dust and dua-cli, occupy nearby disk-usage territory. ### Sources -
