If you've used nodemon, guard, or entr, it will probably feel familiar.

$ cargo watch -hThis repository contains a manual page and shell completions that you may want to install; the pre-built packages also include these.
By default, it runs check. You can easily override this, though:
$ cargo watch [-x command]...A few examples:
# Run tests only
$ cargo watch -x test
# Run check then tests
$ cargo watch -x check -x test
# Run run with arguments
$ cargo watch -x 'run -- --some-arg'
# Run an arbitrary command
$ cargo watch -- echo Hello world
# Run with features passed to cargo
$ cargo watch --features "foo,bar"There's a lot more you can do! Check out:
