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.
-d, --debug
Runs Guard in debug mode.
-g, --group GROUP1 GROUP2...
Runs only the groups specified by GROUP1, GROUP2 etc.
Groups name should be separated by spaces.
Guards that don't belong to a group are considered global and are always run.
-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.
--show-deprecations
Turn on deprecation warnings.
-l, --latency
Overwrite Listen's default latency.
-p, --force-polling
Force usage of the Listen polling listener.
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
