Renames: - github_repo → github_releases (back-compat kept) - github_source → github_sources (back-compat kept) - gitea_repo → gitea_releases (back-compat kept) New keys: - gitea_sources, gitlab_releases, gitlab_sources All keys now accept either owner/repo shorthand or full URLs: - github_releases = sharkdp/bat - github_releases = https://github.com/sharkdp/bat - gitea_releases = https://git.rootprojects.org/root/pathman Defaults: github → github.com, gitlab → gitlab.com. Gitea has no default (self-hosted only). Updated all 73 releases.conf files from github_repo to github_releases.

| watchexec | https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec | watchexec is a simple, standalone tool that watches a path and runs a command whenever it detects modifications. |
To update or switch versions, run webi watchexec@stable (or @v1.17, @beta,
etc).
Files
These are the files / directories that are created and/or modified with this install:
~/.config/envman/PATH.env
~/.local/bin/watchexec
Cheat Sheet
watchexec runs a given command when any files in watched directories change.
It respects .[git]ignore.
Here's the shortlist of options we've found most useful:
-w, --watch ./src/ watch the given directory
-e, --exts js,css watch only the given extensions
-i, --ignore '*.md' do not watch the given pattern
-d, --debounce 5000 the minimum number of milleseconds
to wait between changes
-r, --restart restart the process (for servers, etc)
-s, --signal SIGHUP like -r, but with a signal (ex: SIGHUP)
-c, --clear clear the screen between command runs
-W (wait) ignore all changes as the command runs
-- npm start what command to run, with its arguments
--no-ignore disregard both .ignore and .gitignore
--no-vcs-ignore disregard only .gitignore
--no-default-ignore disregard built-in ignore lists
How to use
Example: List the directory when any files change.
watchexec -c -- ls -lah
Advanced Usage Example
Here's a "kitchen sink" example.
watchexec -c -r -s SIGKILL -d 2000 -W --verbose \
-w ./src -w ./server.js \
-e js,css,html \
-i '*.md' -i 'package-lock.json' \
-- npm run build
