A patch for GNU Coreutils cp and mv that adds a progress bar and transfer info to file copy and move operations. It rebases the original Advanced Copy patch onto newer coreutils versions and provides an install script that compiles patched binaries.
Use cases
- show a progress bar when copying large files with cp
- see transfer speed and ETA when moving files
- patch GNU coreutils cp and mv with progress display
- replace cp and mv with versions that show copy progress
- monitor long file transfers from the command line
When to choose
- you copy or move large files on Linux and want progress feedback
- you want a drop-in cp/mv replacement with a progress bar
- you prefer patching coreutils over installing a separate copy tool
When to avoid
- you need a solution officially merged into GNU coreutils (upstream rejected the patch)
- you rely on reflink copies, which are disabled with the progress bar
- you need a tool with an explicit license file or active feature development
