The official GitHub CLI allows you to monitor a single workflow on the terminal. Using our GitHub Actions Watcher tool you can monitor the results of all your GitHub Actions. When installed, you can just execute `actions-watcher` to see all results.

By default, the watcher will use the git repo and branch of the directory it is launched in. It will keep polling and refreshing results until all workflows of your repo have been completed.

Source diving this tool
-----------------------

[](#source-diving-this-tool)

In [this stream on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkBuSR6_OuE), we'll guide you through the entire source code of the tool.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the tool via composer:

```
composer global require spatie/github-actions-watcher
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can just execute the tool on your cli.

```
actions-watcher
```

By default, the watcher will use the git repo and branch of the directory it is launched in. It will keep polling and refreshing results until all workflows of your repo have been completed.

Authenticating with GitHub
--------------------------

[](#authenticating-with-github)

To see results of private repos, you must authenticate with GitHub. Even when working with public repos, we highly recommend authenticating, as you'll get higher rate limit when the tools communicates with GitHub.

You can authenticate with GitHub by executing this command:

```
actions-watcher login
```

After having completed the login flow, a token will be stored on your disk. At no point, Spatie can see any data of your repos or user.

To destroy the token on your hard disk, execute the `logout` command.

```
actions-watcher logout

```

Single pass
-----------

[](#single-pass)

If you don't want to poll for new results, but just want to see current results use the `--single-pass` option

```
actions-watcher --single-pass
```

Using an alternative repo and/or branch
---------------------------------------

[](#using-an-alternative-repo-andor-branch)

By default, the watcher will use the git repo and branch of the directory it is launched in. It will keep polling and refreshing results until all workflows of your repo have been completed.

If you want to use another repo or branch, use the `--repo` and `--branch` flags.

```
actions-watcher --repo=your-organisation/your-repo-name --branch=other-branch
```
