How to watch git log and git status

Question

I would like to watch the output of the local git status and git log commands so that anytime a change is made to code in my local git repository the git status and git log commands are re-run and the new output is shown. Any ideas on how I might accomplish this?

Answer 1

You could use watch command. For example watch -n 5 git log will rerun git log every five seconds.
