A couple of months back I was looking for a fun quick project and also was having space issues on my Mac.

So github copilot and I wrote a little disk usage exploration tool in rust with very few dependencies.

It's called "syz" and I pronounce it "size" since it's all about exploring disk usage and figuring out what to trim.

Someone I respect started using it and reached out saying he liked it so I figured I'd dust it off and share it here!

After `cargo install syz`, use the `syz` command to enter the interactive cli starting at the current directory. Then use arrow keys to navigate directories and compare their recursive sizes.
