dust is meant to give you an instant overview of which directories are
using disk space without requiring sort or head. Dust will list the 20
biggest sub directories or files and will smartly recurse down the tree to
find the larger ones. The largest sub directory will have its size shown in red.
Sample output
djin:git/dust> dust
