Bash Progress Bar

This repository contains a Bash script that implements a progress bar for command line interfaces.

Installation

To use the progress bar script, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/janek/bash-progress-bar.git

2. Change into the repository directory:

   cd bash-progress-bar

Usage

The progress bar script can be used in any Bash script or command line application that requires a visual representation of progress. Simply include the progress_bar.sh file in your project and call the progress_bar function with the appropriate parameters.

Here's an simple example usage:

source progress_bar.sh

# Set the total number of steps
total_steps=10

# Loop through the steps and update the progress bar
for ((step=1; step<=total_steps; step++))
do
     # Perform some task
     sleep 0.1

     # Update the progress bar
     progress_bar $step $total_steps
done
echo

Progress bar from second half of terminal

To display the progress bar from the second half of the terminal, you can use the fill_to_half_with_space function. This script demonstrates how to position the progress bar in the right half of the terminal window:

#!/bin/bash

source progress_bar.sh

# Set the total number of steps
total_steps=10

# Loop through the steps and update the progress bar
for ((step=1; step<=total_steps; step++))
do
     # Perform some task
     sleep 0.1
     # Show info
     fill_to_half_with_space "Step: $step"

     # Update the progress bar
     progress_bar $step $total_steps
done
echo

This script will display the progress bar starting from the middle of the terminal, providing a clear visual indication of progress.

Progress bar from second half of terminal with color

To display the progress bar from the second half of the terminal with color, you can use the progress_bar_color function. This script demonstrates how to position the progress bar in the right half of the terminal window and add color to it:

#!/bin/bash

source progress_bar.sh

# Set the total number of steps
total_steps=10

# Loop through the steps and update the progress bar
for ((step=1; step<=total_steps; step++))
do
    fill_to_half_with_space "Progress bar (with color), step: $step/$total_steps"
    progress_bar_color $step $total_steps $Green
    sleep 0.1
done
