How to display the progress of the download (clone_from) ?

[qcha41]

Hello,

I am a new GitPython user and I would like to display a progress bar when cloning locally a large GitHub repository. To begin with, I have created a RemoteProgress based class and I have plugged it in the clone_from() function :

from git import Repo
from git.remote import RemoteProgress

class Progress(RemoteProgress):
    def update(self, *args):
        print(self._cur_line)

Repo.clone_from(github_url,local_path,progress=Progress())

When I run it, I have well the progress from 0 to 100% of remote: Counting objects: and remote: Compressing objects: steps (which are super fast) but after that, nothing more : the terminal keep freezed until the end of the download.

How to catch the progress of the download itself ?

Thank you in advance!

From what I could gather in the docs this is essentially what needs to be done, and that should include local progress (indexing, resolving) along with remote progress.

Maybe for some reason progress cannot be parsed, maybe override line_dropped(self, line) to learn about lines that couldn't be parsed.

Nonetheless, I would also expect that to work in a more straightforward fashion, maybe we can figure that out here.
