Add command to calculate size of folder

[martinwholtmon]

This command will give you the total size of the directory, following all symbolic links, and display the size in GiB with one decimal point precision.

du -Ls . | awk '{printf "%.1f GiB\n", $1 / 1024 / 1024}'

Looking at the manual, the output is in power of 1024, meaning KiB. So, when we convert with KiB / 1024 / 1024, the output is in GiB. Due to this, the precision should be increased to two decimals:

du -Ls . | awk '{printf "%.2f GiB\n", $1 / 1024 / 1024}'

find -L . -type f | wc -l to find number of files
