Feature request: watch workflow runs

[ligurio]

There is a watchgha ¹ tool. It would be nice to have such functionality in gcli. It repeatedly gets the latest status and redraws the screen, until all the jobs are complete.

Hey! Thanks for the idea.

I have wanted this sort of thing for watching logs of Gitlab Pipeline Jobs as they run - though I am unsure as to how to do this effectively.
Pulling the log over and over again just feels a bit blunt...

Another thing:

Are you talking about the GitHub CI integration or GitLab Pipelines?
They are implemented in two different subcommands and they differ quite a lot - and I haven't found a nice way to find a common interface for these CI systems.
Especially the ci subcommand hasn't seen any substantial work lately since I'm not using it actively (also reflected by the fact that it is entirely undocumented).

Thus right now it would sadly be two completely distinct implementations, one for GitHub and one for GitLab.

Or otherwise I (or someone else) could try coming up with a unified interface for both CI systems and then implement the features based on a common API for both and potentially more services.
I prefer the latter :D
