# Crow
`crow` is a simple command-line utility that lets you run arbitrary commands when certain files change.
## Demo
A demonstration of crow being used to re-execute tests every time a file is saved. Also, see other [use cases](#use-cases).
## Installation
### Install with `go install`
```
go install github.com/maaslalani/crow@latest
```
### Install from source
Clone this repository and `cd` into it.
```
git clone [email protected]:maaslalani/crow.git && cd crow
```
Install `crow` with go install.
```
go install
```
Ensure `~/go/bin` is in your `PATH`.
## Usage
```
crow [--watch path] [--ext extensions] command
```
or pipe in a list of filenames to watch from `stdin` from `fd`, `find`, `ls`, `echo`, etc...
```
filenames | crow command
```
### Use cases
Use `crow` to run tests once you save `main.go`.
```
crow -w main.go go test ./...
```
```
echo main.go | crow go test ./...
```
Automatically restart your server on changes (watches all files in the current directory).
```
crow go run main.go
```
Live preview markdown in your terminal with [glow](https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow).
```
crow -w README.md glow README.md
```
