- Run a bash command on file creation, update or deletion:
`fswatch -0 {{path/to/file}} | xargs -0 {{bash_command}}`
`fswatch {{path/to/file}} | xargs -n 1 {{bash_command}}`
- Watch one or more files and/or directories:
`fswatch -0 {{path/to/file}} {{path/to/directory}} {{path/to/another_directory/**/*.js}} | xargs -0 {{bash_command}}`
`fswatch {{path/to/file}} {{path/to/directory}} {{path/to/another_directory/**/*.js}} | xargs -n 1 {{bash_command}}`
- Use `{}` in your bash command as a placeholder for the absolute path to the changed file:
- Print the absolute paths of the changed files:
`fswatch -0 {{path/to/directory}} | xargs -0 -I {} {{bash_command}}`
`fswatch {{path/to/directory}} | xargs -n 1 -I {} echo {}`
- Filter by event type, eg. Updated, Deleted or Created:
`fswatch -0 --event {{Updated}} {{path/to/directory}} | xargs -0 {{bash_command}}`
`fswatch --event {{Updated}} {{path/to/directory}} | xargs -n 1 {{bash_command}}`
