guard(1) -- Guard keeps an eye on your file modifications.
========================================================
## DESCRIPTION
Guard is a command line tool that easily handle events on files modifications.
## SYNOPSIS
`guard <COMMAND> <OPTIONS>`
## COMMANDS
### start
Starts Guard. This is the default command if none is provided.
The following options are available:
`-c`, `--clear`
Clears the Shell after each change.
`-n`, `--notify` <FLAG>
Disable notifications (Growl or Libnotify depending on your system).
Notifications can be disabled globally by setting a GUARD_NOTIFY environment variable to false.
FLAG can be `true`/`false` or `t`/`f`.
`-d`, `--debug`
Runs Guard in debug mode.
`-g`, `--group` <GROUP1> <GROUP2>...
Runs only the groups specified by GROUP1, GROUP2 etc.
Groups name should be separated by spaces.
Guards that don't belong to a group are considered global and are always run.
`-w`, `--watchdir` <PATH>
Tells Guard to watch PATH instead of `./`.
`-G`, `--guardfile` <FILE>
Tells Guard to use FILE as its Guardfile instead of `./Guardfile` or `~/.Guardfile`.
### init [GUARD]
If no Guardfile is present in the current directory, creates an empty Guardfile.
If <GUARD> is present, add its default Guardfile configuration to the current Guardfile.
Note that <GUARD> is the guard's name without the `guard-` prefix.
For instance to initialize guard-rspec, run `guard init rspec`.
### list
Lists guards that can be used with the `init` command.
### -T, show
List defined groups and guards for the current Guardfile.
### -h, help [COMMAND]
List all of Guard's available commands.
If <COMMAND> is given, displays a specific help for <TASK>.
## EXAMPLES
Initialize Guard and a specific guard at the same time:
`[bundle exec] guard init [rspec]`
Run Guard:
`[bundle exec] guard [start] --watchdir ~/dev --guardfile ~/env/Guardfile --clear --group backend frontend --notify false --debug`
or in a more concise way:
`[bundle exec] guard [start] -w ~/dev -G ~/env/Guardfile -c -g backend frontend -n f -d`
