guard - Guard keeps an eye on your file modifications.
Guard is a command line tool to easily handle events on file system modifications.
guard <COMMAND> <OPTIONS>
Starts Guard. This is the default command if none is provided.
The following options are available:
-c, --clear Clears the Shell after each change.
-n, --notify FLAG Disable notifications (Growl or Libnotify depending on your system). Notifications can be disabled globally by setting a GUARD_NOTIFY environment variable to false. FLAG can be true/false or t/f.
-g, --group GROUP1 GROUP2... Scopes the Guard actions to the groups specified by GROUP1, GROUP2, etc. Group names should be separated by spaces. Plugins that don´t belong to a group are considered global and are always run.
-P, --plugin PLUGIN1 PLUGIN2... Scopes the Guard actions to the plugins specified by PLUGIN1, PLUGIN2, etc. Plugin names should be separated by spaces.
-d, --debug Runs Guard in debug mode.
-w, --watchdir PATH Tells Guard to watch PATH instead of ./.
-G, --guardfile FILE Tells Guard to use FILE as its Guardfile instead of ./Guardfile or ~/.Guardfile.
-i, --no-interactions Turn off completely any Guard terminal interactions.
-B, --no-bundler-warning Turn off warning when Bundler is not present.
-l, --latency Overwrite Listen´s default latency.
-p, --force-polling Force usage of the Listen polling listener.
-y, --wait-for-delay Overwrite Listen´s default wait_for_delay, useful for kate-like editors through ssh access.
If no Guardfile is present in the current directory, creates an empty Guardfile.
If GUARDS are present, add their default Guardfile configuration to the current Guardfile. Note that GUARDS is a list of the Guard plugin names without the guard- prefix. For instance to initialize guard-rspec, run guard init rspec.
Lists Guard plugins that can be used with the init command.
List defined groups and Guard plugins for the current Guardfile.
List all of Guard´s available commands.
If COMMAND is given, displays a specific help for TASK.
Initialize Guard and a specific Guard plugin at the same time:
[bundle exec] guard init [rspec]
Run Guard:
[bundle exec] guard [start] --watchdir ~/dev --guardfile ~/env/Guardfile --clear --group backend frontend --notify false --debug
or in a more concise way:
[bundle exec] guard [start] -w ~/dev -G ~/env/Guardfile -c -g backend frontend -n f -d
