Hi and thank you for this useful tool!

I’m trying to follow logs using hl directly, but I’ve run into some unexpected behavior. According to the README, this should work:

hl --follow --tail 100 tmp.log

But when I run it, it just hangs with empty lines — it doesn’t continue following the log like tail -f would.

However, this command works as expected:

tail -f tmp.log | hl -P --tail 100

It continuously prints new log lines and highlights them correctly.

So I’m wondering:
Am I doing something wrong with hl --follow?
Or is there a known issue with the follow mode

I’ve tested this with:
• Docker container logs, using docker compose logs -f service_name | hl --follow
• A manually appended file, using something like: echo "$LOG_ENTRY" >> tmp.log
