Updating my iPad - watching what's going on

I'm restoring my iPad, reverting to a backup, and am watching the lack of progress within Finder: -


I found a better way: -

while true;  do clear;  ls -lhrt ~/Library/iTunes/iPad\ Software\ Updates;  sleep 20;  done


which is WAY better.

Now I can keep an eye on the download, ready for the update/restore

Thanks to this: -


for the insight 

And an update - doing the same whilst I update an iPhone to iOS 14 ....

while true; do clear; ls -lhrt ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone\ Software\ Updates/; sleep 20; done

total 7536776

And this - IPSW Downloads gives me an idea how big the download should be i.e. 4.34 GB

Visual Studio Code - Wow 🙀

Why did I not know that I can merely hit [cmd] [p]  to bring up a search box allowing me to search my project e.g. a repo cloned from GitHub...
