Description

Watches source files and reruns Cargo commands when they change. It helps developers get fast feedback while editing Rust projects, such as rebuilding, testing, or checking automatically.

Use it during active development. Because it reruns commands repeatedly, choose lightweight commands for quick loops and avoid scripts with side effects unless intended.

How to run

cargo watch

Commands: cargo watch
