onchange

onchange

Monitors changes to files in local directory and executes a command on each change event.

The utility supports:

• Filtering names by pattern, with -name <pattern>

Examples

For example, to rebuild a Go project every time a local file has changed:

$ onchange -name "*.go" go build

To upload a binary to a remote machine, every time it's built:

$ onchange -name some_app scp some_app ${target}

To Do

• Support monitoring of subfolders (-r option)
