Usage: many-to-one [options] SOURCE ... TARGET

  SOURCE is a path to a file or directory, or a glob
  TARGET is a path to a file that will consist of the combined contents
    of all the files specified by SOURCEs

The command will keep watching both the SOURCEs and the TARGET and sync
them when either change.

Options:
  --comment, -c  The comment syntax used for file headers.
                                                        [string] [default: "//"]
  --ignore, -i   Don't consider these paths/globs for SOURCE files
  --mangle, -m   Mangle the actual source file names in TARGET's headers.
                                                                       [boolean]
  --token, -t    The end token distinguishing file headers from other comments.
                                             [string] [default: "-------------"]
  --verbose, -v  Log watching status.                                  [boolean]
  --help                                                               [boolean]

Examples

Sync a, b and c to bundle, in order b, c, a.

many-to-one b.js c.js a.js bundle.js

Use different comment syntax for other languages.

many-to-one -c '#' src/ bundle.coffee
many-to-one -c '--' src/ bundle.hs

Use different token to end file headers.

many-to-one -t '!!!' src/ bundle.js

You can use block comments too

many-to-one -c '/*' -t '*/' src/ bundle.js

Exclude some files from syncing.

many-to-one -i src/vendor.js src/ bundle.js
