watchme

watchme

watchme is a tool to run a shell command inside of an acme window whenever a file has been modified.

It is heavily inspired (and based upon) the original acme watch command. Unlike the original watch command, watchme is cross-platform and forces the user to choose what files they are interested in monitoring with a glob.

Installation

go get github.com/sewhs/watchme
go install github.com/sewhs/watchme

# Ensure $(go env GOPATH)/bin is in your path

Usage

With acme running: watchme glob command [arguments] e.g. watchme '*.go' go vet to run the go vet tool whenever a '.go' file changes.

watchme will automatically refresh the list of globbed files, so you don't need to re-run watchme each time you add a new file.
