DevWatch
********

Speed up your coding by running your program, test suite, linter, etc on every saved changes.

============
Installation
============
1. pip install devwatch
2. Create `.devwatchrc.yml` on your project directory or home folder

`.devwatchrc.yml` example:
main:
files: main.py
command: python main.py
tests:
files: tests/
command: pytest @
flake:
files: main.py
command: flake8 test.py

* Define targets (`main`, `tests` and `flake` in this example)
* For every target define:
** `files`: File or directory to watch
** `command`: Command to execute when a file change is detected
* When watching on directories like on target `tests`, you can use `@` to reference the
modified file. In that example, when file `tests/foo.py` is amended `pytest tests/foo.py`
will be execute

* Warning: if no files exists for the target, the program will exit.

===========
Basic usage
===========
`devwatch -t main`

* If no target is specified, the program will run the first target defined in the configuration file
