Shell: repeat a task multiple time

All shells (bash/zsh):

watch -n 3 "curl --location --request GET 'http://...'"

1	watch -n 3 "curl --location --request GET 'http://...'"

will run curl every 3 seconds until you break it. zsh specific:

repeat 5 { curl --location --request GET 'http://...' }

1	repeat 5 { curl --location --request GET 'http://...' }

will repeat it 5 times without any delay
