It appeared during the same Rust CLI wave as tools like dust, but kept a simpler tree-and-aggregation focus. ### Project history The GitHub repository was created in March 2018 and the crates.io package followed in April 2018. The README describes dutree as fast, written in Rust, able to display a filesystem tree, aggregate small files, exclude paths, compare directories, and use LS_COLORS for colored output. GitHub releases show early compatibility work in 2018, including a v0.2.7 release described as compatible with macOS, followed by minor fixes through v0.2.15 in November 2019. ### Adoption history The official README documents installation through Cargo, standalone Linux release binaries, Arch's AUR, and Fedora's repositories. That is modest but meaningful adoption for a focused filesystem utility. ### How it is used Users run `dutree [options] ` with flags for depth, aggregation thresholds, summaries, real disk usage, bytes output, files-only mode, exclusions, hidden-file handling, and ASCII-only output. ### Why package nerds care dutree is notable as an early packaged Rust answer to `du` plus `tree`: less interactive than ncdu, more structured than plain `du`, and small enough to be carried by package managers for users who want a quick terminal overview. ### Timeline - 2018-03-25: GitHub repository created. - 2018-04-16: `dutree` crate created on crates.io. - 2018-05-10: v0.2.7 release published with macOS compatibility noted. - 2019-11-18: v0.2.15 release published. ### Related projects - The dust README lists dutree among alternatives in the disk-usage-inspection space, alongside ncdu, dua, pdu, dirstat-rs, and shell pipelines built from `du`, `sort`, and `head`. ### 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:** dutree - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - dutree: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/du/dutree/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - dnf - dutree - 0.2.18-17.fc44: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: dutree from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | Command line tool to analyze disk usage | https://crates.io/crates/dutree ## 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. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [dust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dust/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-usage, file-management, filesystem, rust. - [fcp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/fcp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-management, filesystem, rust, system. - [rmrfrs](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rmrfrs/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-management, filesystem, rust, system. - [rnr](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rnr/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-management, filesystem, rust, system. - [czkawka](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/czkawka/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-management, rust, system. - [ddh](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ddh/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-management, rust, system. - [diskus](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/diskus/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-usage, filesystem, rust, system. - [dua-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dua-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-usage, filesystem, rust, system. - [erdtree](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/erdtree/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
