pv (Pipe Viewer) is a command line tool to view verbose information about data streamed/piped through it. The data can be of any source like files, block devices, network streams etc. It shows the amount of data passed through, time running, progress bar, percentage and the estimated completion time.

Saving this thread for later, but I use rsync -a a lot.
Have you heard of our lord and saviour rclone?

Getting cheatsheets via

morefor readability):function cht() { curl cheat.sh/"$1"?style=igor|more }xdg-open FILE- opens a file with the default GUI app. I use it for example to open PDFs and PNG. I have a one letter alias for that. It can also open a file explorer in the current directoryxdg-open ..

CTR + u will delete the whole command. I use that a lot so I don’t have to backspace. It’s saved me a ton of time

And then ctrl+y to paste it back and recover that text.
