Eslint Watch (Release Notes)

Don't want to import Webpack, Grunt, or some other task package into your project? Then this is the tool for you. Eslint Watch is a simple command line tool that wraps Eslint. Eslint Watch provides file watching and command line improvements to the currently exisiting eslint command line interface. All commands that Eslint offers can be used with the addition of a watch command and a couple new templating views. Don't believe me? Checkout the code or some of the features below!
