<p>I'm attempting to watch my Kubernetes deployment spin up by using the <code>kubectl get deploy &lt;name&gt; --watch</code> on the command line on my MacBook. The output just returns the number of seconds that have occurred, but no actual information from the command.</p>

<p>Is there something I need to be doing differently on OSX to get this command to work? Same results across all terminal programs.</p>

<p>The function of argument --watch is just watching the status changes like you said. If you want to see the logs of your command and following it, use this command:</p>

<pre><code>kubectl logs -l app=[your_deployment_name] --follow
</code></pre>
