Always read the comments (:
Cool tip by Paul Irish (but remember it will dump the binary curl output as well) at [WayBack] How can I debug git/git-shell related problems? – Stack Overflow:
There are a few
GIT_TRACEoptions, beyond the core one. Here’s the über-verbose option:set -x; GIT_TRACE=2 GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=2 GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=2 GIT_TRACE_PACK_ACCESS=2 GIT_TRACE_PACKET=2 GIT_TRACE_PACKFILE=2 GIT_TRACE_SETUP=2 GIT_TRACE_SHALLOW=2 git pull origin master -v -v; set +x

Two tools I like:
GrandPersctive is good at showing a visual overeview. OmniDiskSweeper is better at gradually drilling down.
Easy installation:
$ brew install caskroom/cask/omnidisksweeper
$ brew install caskroom/cask/grandperspective

[WayBack] AppCleaner helped me get rid of a the gazillion number of versions that GoToMeeting had silently installed and their dependencies.
Gigabytes recovered.
Installing is easy: $ brew install caskroom/cask/appcleaner
AppCleaner is a small application which allows you to thoroughly uninstall unwanted apps.
Installing an application distributes many files throughout your System using space of your Hard Drive unnecessarily.
AppCleaner finds all these small files and safely deletes them.Simply drop an application onto the AppCleaner window. It will find for the related files and you can delete them by clicking the delete button.

A while ago, I had to mass encrypt a lot of directories and files on Windows for some directories in an existing directory structure.
This helped me to find out which ones were already done (it lists all encrypted files on all drives; the /n ensures the files or encryption keys are not altered):
cipher.exe /u /n /h
This encrypted recursively in one directory B:\Directory:
cipher /D /S:B:\Directory /A
It also has options to wipe data (/W), export keys into transferrable files (/X) and many more.
If you like the Windows Explorer more then to encrypt/decrypt (it is a tedious process): [WayBack] How do I encrypt/decrypt a file? | IT Pro.
