Hot reloading

Do not run your compile command each time you did a change, epidocker will do it for you. You juste have to configure it a bit.
First, you need to add a .epidocker file at the root of your project, you will write your configuration in this file as JSON.
Here a basic example:

{
   "commands" : {
   	"refresh" : "clear && make && ./my_binary arg1 arg2 ...",
   	"test" : "clear && make test"
   },
   "hotreload" : {
   	"active" : true,
   	"command" : "refresh",
   	"watch" : ["src/*.c", "include/*.h", "Makefile"]
   }
}

You can define some commands in the commands object.
To activate the hot reloading, you have to specify it by setting active: true to the hotreload object
Then you have to specify what command you want to run
and what files or directory to watch.
Once you have done this, you can run epidocker run and the command you have written will be executed when the files you specified will change. You can edit your configuration while the hot reloading is running.
