GT-RUN-WATCH(1)                gitea-cli Manual                GT-RUN-WATCH(1)



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



SYNOPSIS
       gt run watch [<run-id>] [flags]



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


       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.


       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.


   ARGUMENTS
       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.
