## What it is
duf is a cross-platform command-line disk usage/free utility written in Go, serving as a user-friendly alternative to the classic 'df' tool. It displays colorful, sortable tables of mounted filesystems and can output JSON for scripting.

## Use cases
- check free disk space on linux
- pretty alternative to df command
- list mounted filesystems with usage
- monitor disk usage on macos and windows
- export disk usage as json
- filter and sort filesystem tables in terminal

## When to choose
- you want a readable, colorful df replacement across Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows
- you need to filter, group, or sort mount point information quickly
- you want machine-readable JSON output of disk usage in scripts

## When to avoid
- you need deep filesystem analysis like du-style directory breakdowns
- you require POSIX df flags or scripts that depend on df's exact output format
- you need graphical disk space visualization
