$ go run main.go here we have a progress bar

some work 30% [====================>-------------------------------------------] 925ms and here we have another progress bar here we have a longer prepend string 25% [==========>--------------------------] 911ms working... 19% [=============>-------------------------------------------------] 911ms</code></pre>

Display Options:

.MakeBar(total int, prepend string)
- Width:           screen width - len(prepend) - 20
- Total:           total (passed in)
- Prepend:         prepend (passed in)
- LeftEnd:         '['
- RightEnd:        ']'
- Fill:            '='
- Head:            '>'
- Empty:           '-'
- ShowPercent:     true
- ShowTimeElapsed: true
