I want to see the current available disk space as well as how much the folder I am in is using. Is there some du/df command that not only tells me the size of my folder but also how much is still available in this directory ?

You can get the size of the disk usage of the current folder with the du command, using the "s" (summarize) option:

du -sk .

The "k" signifies the result is in kibibytes (i.e. 1024 bytes).

To get the capacity of the disk partition that this directory resides, then you can use the df command:

df -k .

This command returns the capacity of the whole disk partition, not specifically this directory.

Again the results are in kibibytes, so it will be more easily comparable to the result from the du command.

I think using df -h /YourDiskLocation will resolve your problem, and here's an example of df command:

$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root        29G   11G   17G  39% /
devtmpfs        325M     0  325M   0% /dev
tmpfs           455M     0  455M   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs           182M  1.3M  181M   1% /run
tmpfs           5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
/dev/mmcblk0p1  253M   31M  222M  13% /boot
tmpfs            91M   20K   91M   1% /run/user/1000

And on 2nd to 4rd column, there shows total、 used and available size, and for example you want to see the home directory usage, like this:

$ df -h /home
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root        29G   11G   17G  39% /

From the above information, /home is mounted on /, and 11G is used, 17G available. And you can check this answers too:

Hope that helped you, and hope your understand my poor English!
