README
* You have a lot of [CoffeeScript](http://coffeescript.org/), [Haml](http://haml-lang.com/), [Sass](http://sass-lang.com/), [Jade](http://jade-lang.com/) and [Stylus](http://learnboost.github.com/stylus/) ... files and you want them to be automatically compiled when you save.
* You don't want a full "IDE" like [LiveReload](http://livereload.com/), [CodeKit](http://incident57.com/codekit/) or [Compass](http://compass.handlino.com/).
* You like ```coffee --watch``` mode.
Install
=======
```bash
npm install -g watcher
```
Command Line
============
Output in the same folder
```
watcher src/
```
Output in the bin/ folder
```
watcher -o bin/ src/
```
Watch a single file
```
watcher src/application.coffee
```
Output Example
==============
Let's start the watcher, it compiles everything it finds.
```coffee
22:36:30 - compiled src/index.haml
22:36:30 - compiled src/soulver.coffee
22:36:30 - compiled src/soulver.less
```
Oops, we made an error:
```coffee
22:36:56 - compiled src/soulver.coffee
bin/soulver.js: Error: Parse error on line 2: Unexpected '''

at Socket.emit (events.js:64:17)
at Pipe.onread (net.js:348:51)
```
We fix the problem, save again and it goes back in order :)
```coffee
22:37:15 - compiled src/soulver.coffee
```
