antr is a file system events watcher that runs arbitrary commands.

antr watches the current directory and subdiretories for changes. On the event of a change, it clears the screen and runs the passed command.

If the current directory is a git repository, antr will ignore changes to git ignored files.

antr is inspired mainly be entr, with a few differences:

• Easier usage
• Only works with the current directory
• Easier to watch directories for new files
• Integration with git ignore

Usage

To run make every time there is a file change:

$ antr make

To run a single javascript file:

$ antr node file.js
