## Installation

**`jekyll-watch` comes pre-installed with Jekyll 2.1 or greater.**

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    gem 'jekyll-watch'

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install jekyll-watch

## Usage

Pass the `--watch` flag to `jekyll build` or `jekyll serve`:

```bash
$ jekyll build --watch
$ jekyll serve --watch # this flag is the default, so no need to specify it here for the 'serve' command
```

The `--watch` flag can be used in combination with any other flags for those
two commands, except `--detach` for the `serve` command.
