Software development often involves running the same commands over and over. Watchexec is a simple, standalone tool that watches a path and runs a command whenever it detects modifications.
Features
- Automatically run unit tests
- Run linters/syntax checkers
- Rebuild artifacts
- Simple invocation and use, does not require a cryptic command line involving xargs
- Runs on OS X, Linux, and Windows
- Monitors current directory and all subdirectories for changes
- Coalesces multiple filesystem events into one, for editors that use swap/backup files during saving
- Uses process groups to keep hold of forking programs
- Provides the paths that changed in environment variables or STDIN
