:alt: usage example
The universal tool that provides the dead simple progress indicator.
Installation
spin is go-gettable::
go get github.com/kovetskiy/spin
Usage
See spin --help for command line options.
-i --stdin-as-indicator Use stdin data as progress indicator.
-o --write-stdin Write stdin to spinner's stdout on exit.
-s --status <string> Use specified <string> as spinner status.
-t --interval <millisec> Use specified <millisec> as spinner iteration interval. [default: 100]
All you need to do is pipe any command to spin as follows::
sleep 2, spin -s 'Loading... '
and your shell will spawn spin process and terminate it when sleep exited.
If you want to indicate real progress you can use flag -i and spin will
use stdin data as progress indicator::
git clone --progress https://github.com/kovetskiy/dotfiles 2>&1, spin -i -s 'Cloning... '
