Github CLI Run Watch

I am slowly seeing the reasons for using GitHub’s official CLI. I will probably post a blog about the ones I use most after using it more, but for now, I will just write about the one I learned today.

gh run watch

All it does is show the progress of the currently running action. If not for this, I would have had to go to the repo in the browser (using the cli btw gh repo view -w) and then the actions page to select the action. As shown in the official docs examples, I can also create a notification when the run is done. I love this.
