watch-rust (watch-rs)

A silly command-line tool similar to Linux's watch, written in Rust!

It's not very fleshed out right now... I'm just using it as an excuse to play with Rust.

Motivation

I wanted to get an introduction to Rust, so I decided to write a simple tool that I use often: watch.

I've always been frustrated there's no real equivalent for watch on Windows, (that I could find), so this project closes that gap and allows me to learn Rust at the same time.

Installation

Cargo

cargo install watch-rs
watchr --help
