.SH NAME
gt-run-watch - Watch a run until it completes


.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBgt run watch [<run-id>] [flags]\fP


.SH DESCRIPTION
Watch a run until it completes, refreshing its jobs and steps on a terminal.

.PP
The command exits with 5 when the run completes without success, with 3 when --timeout expires,
and with 1 when gt itself fails, such as on a rejected request. It polls on through an outage of
the instance of up to 5 minutes.

.PP
With --expect-head, it exits with 6 before waiting when the run is for another commit, such as
one an earlier push triggered. A full or abbreviated SHA matches the start of the run's commit;
another revision, such as HEAD, is resolved in the local clone.

.SS ARGUMENTS
.EX
A run can be supplied as its ID ("34", "#34") or its URL
("https://gitea.example.com/OWNER/REPO/actions/runs/34"). Without an argument,
gt asks for one of the repository's recent runs in a terminal.
