watchngo

README

Watch'n'Go

• Watch a single file
• Watch files recursively in a directory, with an optional pattern
• Store configuration in INI file or use only the command line
• Run a command on modifications through /bin/sh -c <command> by default
• Can output on stdout so you do whatever you want (fswatch-like)

Usage

watchngo [-conf watchngo.ini] [-command <your command> -match <match> [-filter <filter>] [-debug] [-output unixshell|raw|stdout]]

The configuration file is used only when -command and -filter parameter are in use. This makes it possible to use watchngo without writing a configuration file.

Configuration

See watchngo.sample.ini configuration example.
