CLI to help you pretend your machine does upgrades, compilation, docker pulling or whatever.
It is just a fun project I thought about some time ago. I was wondering if I could write a CLI that will pretend to do something with progress bars and stuff. Afterwards, I thought, why not to combine the idea of drawing useless progress bars and the idea of pretending it does something.
That’s how pretender repository was created.
Because I love Rust. That’s the language I do not write often, but when there is a chance - I’ll take Rust. In the long run, I want to switch to Rust, so any fun project I’m creating, I’m trying to create it with Rust language.
Right now, it is a project that can be compiled on your machine and installed by yourself only. For that, clone the repository, install the Rust toolchain and just call the cargo to build it:
cargo buildAfter that, you will get a debug build of the project in the target directory and you call the binary from there:
./target/debug/pretender brewThe pretender for brew makes it look like the upgrade process is going on.
NOTE: The demo is shot on 5 fps and 2x speed. In the real-time it is much slower and took 4 minutes.
