Maybe change this to jekyll serve --no-watch?

Either way is fine. It depends on how verbose you think it needs to be.

FWIW, I usually just wrap the commands in a test.sh script and run it that way, so --watch is not a switch I flip frequently (Default behavior is enabled).

If you can think of a use case where a separate command makes sense, go for it.

I think we should show an example with --no-watch so it's obvious that it exists. We should also add a note to jekyll serve that says it automatically regenerates.

These are just a few of the available [configuration options](../configuration/).
