Watch Do

Watch Do is primarily a command line utility that allows you to monitor files for changes and then perform actions based on these changes.

Installation

To install Watch Do, ensure you have pip installed using your distributions package manager and then run the following command:

pip install watch-do

Basic Usage

You can start making use of Watch Do right away! A basic Watch Do command can be seen below, this watches all .py files recursively using the default watcher (ModificationTime) and then runs make test in the directory that Watch Do was launched in.

watch-do -w '**/*.py' -d 'make test'

Run watch-do --help for more information on what all of the different command line switches do.

Note: The -r (--reglob) switch is often useful to maintain an up-to-date list of files that trigger the doers to run.
