How many hours have lost debugging local jobs only to find out that you forgot to restart Horizon?

This package contains an Artisan command `horizon:watch` that will start Horizon and automatically restart it when any PHP file is created, updated or deleted.

This command is meant to be used in local environment.

## Installation

You can install the package via composer:

```

Optionally, you can publish the config file with this command:

```bash

```

This is the contents of the published config file:

```php
return [
/*

* get created, updated or deleted. You can also specify other kinds
* of files here.
*/
'paths' => [
app_path(),
config_path(),
database_path(),
resource_path('views'),
base_path('.env'),
base_path('composer.lock'),
],

/*
* This command will be executed to start Horizon.
*/
