Watch GitHub actions and terminals can link now
The inestimable nedbat has written another nice little
tool - watchgha, a command line tool to poll
GitHub actions and print out the status of the most recent run of a workflow. It also does something which I
was vaguely aware of but hadn't really thought about - it includes link to the run in the terminal, which is
clickable in modern terminals. Alhadis maintains a document about adoption, but it's basically "everything other than xterm and the
awful MacOS default one", which is amazing.
Unsurprisingly, it is implemented via an escape sequence.
Very neat.
