# fu
`fu` is a `du` alike CLI. It comes with a set of new features and a better output. For example, it allows you to sort and limit the number of entries and provides a colorized output to highlight heaviest entries.
## Installation
### MacOS
To install it using view, run the following commands:
```
brew tap Angelmmiguel/tap
brew install Angelmmiguel/tap/fu
```
Install fu without brew
Run the following commands to:
1. Download the file from the GitHub releases page
1. Uncompress it
1. Remove the quarantine attribute from MacOS
1. Move the CLI binary to /usr/local/bin
1. Remove any remaining file
```
curl -L \
https://github.com/Angelmmiguel/fu/releases/latest/download/fu-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz \
-o /tmp/fu-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz && \
tar -xvf /tmp/fu-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz -C /tmp && \
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /tmp/fu-x86_64-apple-darwin/fu && \
mv /tmp/fu-x86_64-apple-darwin/fu /usr/local/bin && \
rm -r /tmp/fu-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz /tmp/fu-x86_64-apple-darwin
```
The `xattr` call is required because downloaded binaries are marked as "quarantine" by MacOS. In addition to that, the system may block `fu` CLI due to unknown signature. You can allow it by accessing the _Security and Privacy_ system preference panel and clicking on the _Allow anyway_ button.
This will install the `fu` CLI in the `/usr/local/bin` folder.
### Linux
Run the following commands in a terminal:
```
curl -L \
https://github.com/Angelmmiguel/fu/releases/latest/download/fu-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz \
-o /tmp/fu-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz && \
tar -xvf /tmp/fu-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz -C /tmp && \
mv /tmp/fu-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/fu /usr/local/bin && \
rm -r /tmp/fu-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz /tmp/fu-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
```
This will install the `fu` CLI in the `/usr/local/bin` folder.
### Windows
For Windows, please run the following commands to install it with [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/):
```
scoop bucket add extras
scoop install fu
```
Install fu without Scoop
Follow these steps:
1. Download the latest release from [the releases page](https://github.com/Angelmmiguel/fu/releases/latest/download/fu-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.tar.gz)
1. Uncompress it
1. Place the `fu.exe` binary in a folder that it's referenced in your `PATH`
## Usage
```
$ fu --help
fu
Search for a pattern in a file and display the lines that contain it
USAGE:
fu [OPTIONS]
ARGS:
The path to the file to read
OPTIONS:
-h, --help Print help information
--no-colors Disable the colors in the output
--no-header Hide the headers from the output
-s, --sort Sort the output based on the size
-t, --top Sort and limit the output to the N heaviest entries
```
### Sort the entries by size
```
$ fu --sort ./
DISK BYTES PATH
258M 238M target
492K 71K .git
12K 11K LICENSE
8K 6K Cargo.lock
12K 4K src
4K 1K README.md
4K 361B Cargo.toml
4K 263B .github
4K 131B .gitignore
```
### Just the sum of the folder
```
$ fu .
DISK BYTES PATH
259M 239M .
```
### Sort and show top N entries
```
$ fu --top 2 ./
DISK BYTES PATH
258M 238M target
492K 71K .git
```
### Use glob
```
$ fu ./*.md
DISK BYTES PATH
4K 1K ./README.md
```
### Hide headers
```
$ fu --top 2 --no-headers ./
258M 238M target
492K 71K .git
```
## Development
To develop `fu` you need to install the Rust language on your environment:
- [Get started with Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started)
Then, you need to clone the project and start exploring the CLI:
```
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/Angelmmiguel/fu.git && cd fu
# Run the CLI (development) against the current folder
cargo run -- ./
# Run tests
cargo tests
# Build the CLI
cargo build
# Build using the release profile
cargo build --release
```
## Why?
I developed `fu` for two main reasons:
- I love to use small projects to learn new languages, frameworks, patterns, etc. So, I use `fu` as an excuse to start learning Rust language.
- Try to offer an alternative and add missing features for well known CLIs I use everyday. I use `du`, although most of the times I combine it with other CLIs that helps me to filter and sort.
That's all! Feel free to request new features and let's discuss about how we can improve `fu` :)
