Zsh ~ watch log files with bat + tail

watch.zsh

# you can add this to your .zshrc, .zprofile, or source your own file like source ~/custom-commands.zsh

# Uses `bat` to display the files contents and watches for changes with `tail -f`
# very useful for watching log files
watch() {
  if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    echo "Usage: watch <filename>"
    return 1
  fi

  tail -f "$1" | bat --paging=never -l log
}
