How about\nrestart your webserver when one of the source files change? Look no further.\n\nInstall `ibazel` using one of the 3 methods [described below](#installation). Then:\n\n```bash\n$ ibazel build //path/to/my:target\n```\n\nHack hack hack. Save and your target will be rebuilt.\n\nRight now this repo supports `build`, `test`, and `run`.\n\n## Installation\n\nThere are several ways to install iBazel, documented below.\n\n### Mac (Homebrew)\n\nIf you run a macOS you can install it from [homebrew](https://brew.sh).\n\n```sh\n$ brew install ibazel\n```\n\n### NPM\n\nIf you\u0027re a JS developer you can install it as a `devDependency` or by calling `npm install` directly in your project\n\n```\n$ npm install @bazel/ibazel\n```\n\n### Linux\n\nPackages are available for the following distributions:\n\n* **Arch Linux**: [`aur/ibazel`][install/linux/archlinux/aur]\n\n[install/linux/archlinux/aur]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ibazel\n\n### Compiling yourself\n\nYou can, of course, build iBazel using Bazel.\n\n```\n$ git clone git@github.com:bazelbuild/bazel-watcher\n$ cd bazel-watcher\n$ bazel build //cmd/ibazel\n```\n\nNow copy the generated binary onto your path:\n\n```bash\n$ export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/bazel-bin/cmd/ibazel/ibazel_\n```\n\n## Running a target\n\nBy default, a target started with `ibazel run` will be terminated and restarted\nwhenever it\u0027s notified of source changes. Alternatively, if the build rule for\nyour target contains `ibazel_notify_changes` in its `tags` attribute, then the\ncommand will stay alive and will receive a notification of the source changes on\nstdin.\n\n## Output Runner\n\niBazel is capable of producing and running commands from the output of",
