Go File Watcher CLI

This is a command-line application built in Go for watching file changes and rerunning a specified command when a change is detected.

Getting Started

To get started, clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/dagar-in/goner.git

Prerequisites

You will need to have Go installed on your machine to run this application. You can download it from the official website: https://golang.org/dl/

Installing

go build

This will build the executable for the application.

Usage

To use the application, run the built executable and provide the command you want to run when a file change is detected:

The above command will watch for file changes in the current working directory and any subdirectories up to 10 levels deep. If a change is detected, the specified command (go run .) will be re-run.

The application accepts the following options:

• -d or --depth: Set the maximum depth for subdirectories to watch (default: 10).
• -e or --exclude: Specify a comma-separated list of files or directories to exclude from watching.
