# GW (Go Watcher)
## Stacks
- Built in Go
## Features
A Wrapper of a command to watch any changes in filesystem, then re-run the command again. Especially, when you are developing a backend API, you need to run again your API very often, every time you edit a code. `GW` will automatically run your API again for you.
## Demo
## How to use
```shell
$ gw [COMMAND arg1, arg2, ...]
```
e.g.
```shell
$ gw go run server.go
** Ctrl-C to exit **
2019/05/12 00:01:00 Listening to the port 8080...
# any changes in filesystem
Tyring to run the command...
2019/05/12 00:01:10 Listening to the port 8080...
```
- for Node.js
**You can use gw instead of `nodemon`.**
```shell
$ gw node server.js
** Ctrl-C to exit **
Listening to port 4000
# any changes in filesystem
Tyring to run the command...
Listening to port 4000
```
> gw excludes to watch the `node_modules` directory.
