💖 BAOBAB(1) — the girlypop guide 💖

okay so bestie, listen. this is baobab, and it's a General Commands Manual page, which is fancy speak for "here's how you use this thing from your terminal". it's the graphical disk usage analyzer for the GNOME desktop, and honestly? she eats. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

baobab — a graphical disk usage analyzer for the GNOME desktop 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

baobab [OPTIONS…] [DIRECTORY]

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so baobab — also known as Disk Usage Analyzer, which is giving main character energy ngl — is literally built to scan either specific folders (local and remote, she's versatile 💅) or devices, so it can hand you a whole tree representation of the branch, including each directory's size or percentage. no cap.

she also auto-detects any mounted/unmounted device, which is so iconic of her. 🔥

and when you pick a folder? boom — a graphical representation shows up for it. gorgeous. showstopping. never been done before. ✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -a, --all-file-systems — do not skip directories on different file systems. but heads up: this gets ignored if DIRECTORY isn't specified. so like, no directory, no dice. 🙈
  • --help — shows you the command line options. your little cheat sheet bestie 🫶
  • --version — spits out the version info and dips. 👋

🐛 BUGS 🐛
