gamertan 276c6404a9 feat: v0.2.0 - Performance optimization and distribution pipeline
- Implemented multi-threaded directory traversal using ignore::WalkParallel
- Added dynamic thread allocation for balanced CPU utilization
- Refactored core logic to single-pass, in-memory tree construction (O(N))
- Added --compare, --units, and --precision flags
- Established SCM-neutral distribution pipeline (Makefile, release.sh, Homebrew)
- Comprehensive updates to README.md, MANUAL.md, and CHANGELOG.md
- Decoupled from SCM-specific workflows

# Sized
A fast, concurrent, and feature-rich command-line tool for visualizing disk usage, written in Rust.
## Features
- **Fast & Concurrent**: Uses `rayon` to process directories in parallel, making it extremely fast on modern multi-core systems.
- **Rich Output**: Beautifully formatted tables with colors, distinguishing files and directories.
- **Physical vs logical**: Clearly separates **Apparent Size** (logical) from **Disk Usage** (actual blocks), essential for cloud files and sparse storage.
- **Unit Selection**: Switch between Binary (IEC) and Decimal (SI) unit systems via `--units`.
- **Precision control**: Configure decimal places using `--precision`.
- **Advanced Filtering**: Filter by minimum size (`-m 10MB`) to find large items quickly.
- **Sorting**: Flexible sorting by name, type, size (apparent), or blocks (usage) (`--sort`).
- **Gitignore Support**: Respects `.gitignore` and `.ignore` files to keep output clean (`-i`).
- **Export Options**: Export data to CSV or JSON for further analysis (`--format csv/json`).
- **Save to File**: Automatically save reports with timestamped filenames (`--save`).
## Installation
### 🚀 Direct Download (macOS & Linux)
Download the latest archive for your architecture from the [Releases](https://gitea.speelman.ca/gamertan/sized/releases) page.
1. **Extract the archive**:
```bash
tar -xzf sized-v0.2.0-Darwin-arm64.tar.gz
```
2. **Install Binary & Man Page**:
```bash
# Move binary to path
sudo mv sized /usr/local/bin/
# Install man page
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/man/man1
sudo cp sized.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/
```
3. **macOS Security (Gatekeeper)**:
Since the binary isn't code-signed for the App Store, macOS may block it. To allow it:
```bash
sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/bin/sized
```
*Alternatively, run `sized` once, let it fail, then go to **System Settings > Privacy & Security** and click **"Allow Anyway"**.*
### 🍺 Homebrew (macOS & Linux)
If you have a homebrew tap:
```bash
brew install gamertan/tap/sized
```
### 📦 Debian / Ubuntu (.deb)
1. Download the `.deb` package from the [Releases](https://gitea.speelman.ca/gamertan/sized/releases) page.
2. Install using `dpkg`:
```bash
sudo dpkg -i sized_0.2.0_amd64.deb
```
### 🦀 From Source (Rust toolchain required)
```bash
git clone https://gitea.speelman.ca/gamertan/sized.git
cd sized
make install # Installs binary and man page
```
Alternatively, via Cargo:
```bash
cargo install --path .
```
## Documentation
- **[Manual](MANUAL.md)**: Detailed explanations of all flags and features.
- **[Man Page](sized.1)**: Standard unix man pages (installed via `make install`).
## Usage
### Basic Usage
Analyze the current directory:
```bash
sized
```
Analyze a specific path:
```bash
sized /path/to/directory
```
### Options
| Flag | Description | Example |
|------|-------------|---------|
| `-d`, `--depth` | Recursion depth (0 = current dir only) | `sized -d 1` |
| `-m`, `--min-size` | Filter by minimum size | `sized -m 100MB` |
| `--sort` | Sort columns (name, type, size, blocks) | `sized --sort size:asc` |
| `--units` | Unit system (binary, decimal) | `sized --units decimal` |
| `--precision` | Decimal places for sizes | `sized --precision 3` |
| `-f`, `--path-full` | Force absolute paths in headers | `sized -f` |
| `-i`, `--ignore` | Respect .gitignore files | `sized -i` |
| `-j`, `--threads` | Set number of threads | `sized -j 4` |
| `--format` | Output format (text, csv, json) | `sized --format json` |
| `--save` | Save output to file | `sized --save` |
### Examples
**Find large directories (depth 1), respecting gitignore, and save to CSV:**
```bash
sized . -d 1 -i -m 50MB --format csv --save
```
### Generate Shell Completions
**Bash:**
Add the following to your `.bashrc` or `.bash_profile`:
```bash
# Option 1: Source directly
source <(sized --completions bash)
# Option 2: Save to file (safer startup time)
sized --completions bash > ~/.sized_completions.bash
echo "source ~/.sized_completions.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
```
**Zsh:**
```bash
# In your .zshrc
sized --completions zsh > /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_sized
# OR
sized --completions zsh > ~/.zfunc/_sized
fpath+=~/.zfunc
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit
```
**Fish:**
```bash
sized --completions fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/sized.fish
```
