About:
ProgressLine is a lightweight utility that condenses the output of long-running terminal commands into a single, updating line.

This tool is ideal for developers who want to monitor script or build processes without being overwhelmed by verbose logs.
Key Features:
  • Parses and summarizes verbose output into a compact line
  • Supports customizable patterns for progress tracking
  • Provides real-time updates without cluttering the terminal
  • Lightweight and easy to integrate into existing scripts
Use Cases:
