After I did:

apt install git

terminal said that:

After this operation, 43.3 MB of additional disk space will be used.

I agreed. After installation I did:

df -h

and saw that 43.3 MB was really used. Then I did:

whereis git

and found out two paths where git is placed:

git: /usr/bin/git /usr/share/man/man1/git.1.gz

To know how much space does it take on my hdd, I did:

ls -la /usr/bin/git
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3212468 Apr 19 20:19 /usr/bin/git
ls -la /usr/share/man/man1/git.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15170 Apr 19 20:19 /usr/share/man/man1/git.1.gz

So, I found approximately 3 MB in first path and 15 KB in second path. The question is: Where is the place of other 40 MB that git installation used on my hdd?

  • My /home directory is placed on another hdd (/dev/sdb5). There is a lot of free space. But I am asking about space that git installation used on /dev/sda1. As I said before - I saw decreasing of free space on /dev/sda1 after git installation. – Nikolay Furletov Sep 21 '20 at 14:38
  • this has 26M on my machine: /usr/lib/git-core/. And /usr/share/doc/git/ has another 3M. – pLumo Sep 21 '20 at 14:54
