Viewing Available Disk Space

I would like to know if there is a way to view available disk space on my hard drive? I do not have a "windows manager" / "GUI" installed on my Debian machine so I would like to know if I can see this via "CLI"

- Thank you.

Use the command ' df -h '. The -h makes easier to read.
