impl: visual text progress during Coder CLI downloading #130
Conversation
The REST client doesn't do any authentication but rather retrieves the user and build info - the user is already authenticated via the API token. So `authenticate` is misleading here.
This PR implements a mechanism to provide recurrent stats about the number of the KB and MB of Coder CLI downloaded.
Keeps the previous behavior which was removing the binary before download.

We also don't do any setting up. |
We download the cli, we initialize the cli with the token, re-generate the ssh config file, initialize a rest client with the deployment url and the token and retrieve basic information about the deployment like the version and the user authenticated by the token. The three pages wizard from the video needs a title which is why I proposed to compress all of the steps I just mentioned in a "Setting up Coder" title. I'm open for any suggestions regarding the title. |

@matifali what do you think?

We are not really doing authentication, instead we download the cli, we initialize the cli with the token, re-generate the ssh config file, initialize a rest client with the deployment url and the token and retrieve basic information about the deployment like the version and the user authenticated by the token.
