How can I copy files on Bash so that there is any process status bar? For example, as on pip or git clone .

Perhaps there is some key for the cp program?

    In cp ability to display the copy status is not provided. You can try the pv utility. She has features that you can read about .

      # pv file > /dev/null 1.41GB 0:00:21 [66.3MB/s] [=====================================================>] 100%
    • pv recursively can not run? - Dofri
    • @Dofri I will not say on the go, because I do not use it, but apparently, rsync is more suitable for recursive copying. Well, either use pv with cycles, for example for f in `ls`: do pv ${f} > some_dir/${f}; done for f in `ls`: do pv ${f} > some_dir/${f}; done - approximatenumber

    you can use rsync with the -P option (option -r - recursively, to copy directories):

     $ rsync -rP /etc/vim /tmp/vim sending incremental file list created directory /tmp/vim vim/ vim/gvimrc 664 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 (xfr#1, to-chk=2/4) vim/vimrc 2,125 100% 2.03MB/s 0:00:00 (xfr#2, to-chk=1/4) vim/vimrc.tiny 662 100% 646.48kB/s 0:00:00 (xfr#3, to-chk=0/4)
