Ah that's intriguing, I'm using Magit since forever and had no idea! When I need to do it I like to do it from a regular prompt: I just switch to an actual terminal (i.e. not from Emacs: not an eshell, not an libvterm, not anything like that: just the "real thing"). Then I just hit 'g' (which runs magit-refresh) when I go back to Emacs.

You might like exploring using async-shell-command for these things.

If you like that, you may also like detached.el for command rerunning and command output history.
