awake
=====

... is a file watcher which reruns your make targets when their dependent files change.

Installation
=====

Ensure to have Node.js installed.

``
npm install -g awake
`

Usage
=====

!awake example

awake will search for a Makefile in your current working directory and read its targets from it.
You can specify an alternative directory to look up using the --directory option:

``bash


Uses ./ as cwd

awake

Uses ../example as cwd

awake --directory ../example
`

You're able to whitelist (--include) and blacklist (--exclude) targets:

`bash

Only run dst.txt and foo.html (and not hello.png)

awake --include dst.txt,foo.html

Allow every taget except hello.png

awake --exclude hello.png
`

Under the hood
=====

awake uses make's --print-data-base option to get a "compiled" version of the makefile which lists all targets and the files on which they depend.
By default awake will run make -pn in your cwd but you can also read the output from a file:
`bash
make -pn > make-pn.txt
awake --make-database make-pn.txt
