@jedwards1211/rerun

My personal more convenient version of nodemon

I wanted an easier way to rerun an arbitrary command when files change, like nodemon but more convenient, especially for non-JS projects.

For me the easiest syntax to use/remember looks like this:

rerun 'src/**.{c,h,cpp}' -- ./build.sh

Usage

yarn install @jedwards1211/rerun

rerun <files, directories, glob patterns ...> -- <command>

Any number of directories/glob patterns can be given, and any number of command arguments, they just have to be separated by --.

If you omit the --, it assumes you everything is the command and tries to intelligently watch all files that aren't .gitignored.

If you want to run a shell command, you may have to quote it.

Notes

Right now there are no options. It will SIGTERM the command before restarting if it's still running.
