baywatch

Watch files and execute commands if they change.

Usage

$ bwatch --help

Simplest example:

$ bwatch -- ls -lah

Assumptions

  • simple codebase and usage
  • sane defaults
    • using local gitignore properly
    • ignores change events that happened since starting the scheduled command (not running tests 10 times if files changed 10 times)
    • streams stdout and stderr
  • tested and used only on Linux and Darwin, may or may not work on Windows

Known problems

  • on linux, using Neovim, when saving a file it gets deleted and recreated. This makes it impossible to track concrete files (via --path argument). It's advised instead to track whole folders.

Installation
