watchexec

We have hosted the application watchexec in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about watchexec:

Software development often involves running the same commands over and over. Watchexec is a simple, standalone tool that watches a path and runs a command whenever it detects modifications.

Features:

• Automatically run unit tests
• Run linters/syntax checkers
• Rebuild artifacts
• Simple invocation and use, does not require a cryptic command line involving xargs
• Runs on OS X, Linux, and Windows
• Monitors current directory and all subdirectories for changes
• Coalesces multiple filesystem events into one, for editors that use swap/backup files during saving
• Uses process groups to keep hold of forking programs
• Provides the paths that changed in environment variables or STDIN

Programming Language: Rust.
