The du command allows you to check how much storage space is available on the
computer.
There are two flags that make du much more managable: -h
(for human-readable) and -s for summary.
Human-readable format translates the number of bytes into bigger sizes
(like KB, MB, GB, TB, etc.).
Summary totals the amount of space for a folder.
Running without the summary will provide individual file sizes.
