I want to see how big is the size of a directory(includes its subdirectories), which command can help me to do so?

Thanks

du -h
reading a manual always helps

If been using Linux for 3 years and have never seen that command. You learn something new everyday.

df -h only shows filesystem usage, I am afraid
