✨ incus-wait — the "bestie, are we there yet" command ✨

okay so real talk: this is a page from Incus - Command line client, section 1 of the manual, and it's here to teach you how to wait on an instance like a patient queen instead of refreshing things over and over like a gremlin 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

yes that's it. that's the whole job. we wait. elegantly. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀
