Watchexec 1.25.0

Release notes

Software development often involves running the same commands over and over. Boring! Watchexec is a simple, standalone tool that watches a path and runs a command whenever it detects modifications. Install it today with cargo-binstall watchexec-cli, from the binaries below, find it in your favourite package manager, or build it from source with cargo install watchexec-cli.

In this release:

  • Startup performance improvements reducing the amount of directories visited when discovering ignore files. (#663 by @t3hmrman)
  • Improvements to handling of nested ignore files. (#745 by @thislooksfun)

Other changes:

  • Project origin detection tweaked a little to avoid some false positives. (#748)
