shell-scripts VS watchexec

I didn't know of entr, or inotify at the time. Years ago, I wrote a script that did mostly that, but I've found myself to instead rely on a script to rerun things based on global hotkeys. It scratches a different itch, but in case you want to check it out [0]

In short, you set up a global hotkey to trigger the rerun of a "key"-ed command. Then you can quickly run a command, which can be rerun with that hotkey.

Hi, I am using Watchexec (https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec/releases) to monitor folder changes, but I want to exclude some folders. What parameter should I use to perform the route exclusions?

Use https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec

There's something similar to this called watchexec, which you can have a look at https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec

Or use watchexec which will do 95% of what you need and you're not tied to nodejs.

watchexec

I use watchexec to automatically run the code when saved, you should customise this to your liking.

OTOH PowerShell will not keep watching and is one of the requirements. In the past I've successfully used watchexecrepo and inotifywaitrepo.

I prefer watchexec as it's cross-platform.

Not specifically for frontend but a handy tool for quickly setting up auto-runners, auto-testers, auto-linters, auto-formattere etc etc. watchexec
