  • Terminal spinner progress indicator

    I know that there are a number of terminal progress indicators for Powershell that can be used throughout a script (and a number of WPF ones). But I'd like to implement something similar to a spinner indicator instead of just a bar that gets filled up (e.g. the Write-Progress cmdlet). This is the only thing I've found that is close to what I'm looking for, however, I want the progress indicator to be to the left of the command and in-line instead of the way it's presented in that cmdlet.

  • How to do licenses?

    No. I just remembered the rich package of Python. And here is how it handles the same problem. It is also licensed under MIT, and for implementing the CLI spinners, the maintainers decided to distribute another not less famous, MIT-licensed cli-spinners. Just see the rich/_spinners.py file. They added the license notice of the cli-spinners right on the top of the file.
