Using watch command to tracking changes in period time

watch to a good command to run a command every N seconds.

And like its name, means you can watch something, its output changes with flag -d

It's a great tool to help you learn a new language without hitting compile and run everytime you save a file.

$ watch -n 1 -d go run learn.go

This command will compile and run learn.go every 1 second

More flags :

• -t : no title
• -b : beep on non-zero exit code
• -e : stop loop on error and exit on a keypress
• -g : exit on change
• -c : support colors
• -h : you know ! ;)
