Wait for CI (GitHub Actions)

When waiting for a GitHub Actions run to complete, use gh run watch with flags that minimise stdout and provide a checkable exit code. Do not run plain gh run watch <run-id>; it polls every 3 seconds and prints full pipeline status each time, which wastes context.

Command

gh run watch <run-id> --exit-status --compact

• --exit-status: Exits with non-zero status if the run fails. Use the command’s exit code to decide success/failure.
• --compact: Shows only relevant or failed steps instead of every step, reducing output size.

Optional: reduce poll frequency

To cut down output further, increase the refresh interval (default 3 seconds):
