Is there an easy command line command to check disk space? [duplicate]

"Command line" commands are very helpful. Is there a command to display the memory of each partition of my drives..?

You can use df like so:

df -h

which will show something like this:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 56G 47G 6.8G 88% /
none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev 940M 4.0K 940M 1% /dev
tmpfs 192M 996K 191M 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 957M 5.1M 952M 1% /run/shm
none 100M 44K 100M 1% /run/user

Use the df command:

df -h

to give you information about the various mounted filesystems on your computer, and their free and used space.
