Poor Man’s Continuous Integration

I created the following script which saves a few seconds of switching to a terminal and typing grunt on each change to my source files.

#!/bin/sh
cd my-wordpress-theme-directory || { echo cannot cd ; exit 1; }
fswatch -rd assets/js/source assets/css/sass | \
while read ln; do
    echo $ln;
    grunt
done

#!/bin/sh

cd my-wordpress-theme-directory || { echo cannot cd ; exit 1; }

fswatch -rd assets/js/source assets/css/sass | \

while read ln; do

echo $ln;

grunt

done

I can just leave this running in a terminal window and glance at the output to make sure there were no errors.
