Synopsis

A folder watcher that runs commands on change of files or folders. Inspired and based on watcher but with more intuitive command line flags and logging support.

Usage

# simple usage, watch current dir and run 'ls -la'
ee ls -la

# pass events path to the command
ee cat {{.file}}

# spectate mode, just prints changes, does not execute a command
ee -s

# filter and watch a specific folder
# NOTE: flags always have to be in front of the command
ee -r .md$ -f /home/user/my_markdowns ls -lah

# get a list of available variables
ee -n
