when-changed
Run a command when a file is changed
~ What is it?
Tired of switching to the shell to test the changes you just made to
your code? Starting to feel like a mindless drone, manually running
pdflatex for the 30th time to see how your resume now looks?
Worry not, when-changed is here to help! Whenever it sees that you have
changed the file, when-changed runs any command you specify.
So to generate your latex resume automatically, you can do this:
$ when-changed CV.tex pdflatex CV.tex
Sweetness!
