Real-time git add . progress tracker with ETA (Estimated Time Remaining) & Progress Bar
🚀 git-add-progress is a simple yet powerful Bash script that helps track the progress of git add . in real-time, showing the percentage completed, estimated time remaining (ETA), and a progress bar.
When working with large Git repositories containing thousands of files, the standard git add . command does not show progress. This leads to uncertainty about:
- ⏳ How long will it take to finish?
- 📊 How many files have been staged?
- 🚀 How can I track progress without slowing down Git?
This script solves all of these problems by providing live updates while files are being staged.
✅ Real-time progress tracking while running git add .
✅ Displays percentage completion and files staged vs. total files
✅ Accurate ETA (Estimated Time Remaining) based on actual elapsed time
✅ No slowdown – Runs at full Git speed without artificial delays
✅ Works on large repositories with thousands of files
✅ Lightweight & cross-platform – Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows (via WSL)
Total files to be staged: 3421
