Want to restart your Rails dev server whilst you work? Now you can! guard 'rails', :port => 5000 do watch('Gemfile.lock') watch(%r{^(config|lib)/.*}) end Three fun options! * `:port` is the port number to run on (default 3000) * `:environment` is the environment to use (default development) * `:start_on_start` will start the server when starting Guard (default true) This is super-alpha, but it works for me!
