df

df [options] [path]

Reports how much disk space is used and available on mounted filesystems.

// FLAGS

-hhuman-readable sizes (e.g. GB instead of raw blocks)
-Tshow filesystem type
-ishow inode usage instead of space

// EXAMPLE

df -h — prints a table of every mounted filesystem with its size, used, available, and mount point.

// GOTCHA

df reports space at the filesystem level, not per-directory — "why is my drive full" almost always needs du instead to actually find what's consuming space.
