WATCH

Simple watch wrapper for zsh that supports alias and completion.

Usage

Just watch <command> <args> (press <Tab> to complete):

# Watch the pods
watch kubectl get pod -n kube-system

# Use alias
watch kgpn kube-system

# With watch flags
watch -c -n1 -d -t kgp

Installation

  1. Install watch (macOS only).

    brew install watch
    
  2. Add zsh-watch to the plugins array in your zshrc file.

      git clone https://github.com/Thearas/zsh-watch ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-watch
      
      # In your ~/.zshrc
