reflex: Run command when reflex starts and restarts on file changes.
$ reflex --start-service=true ${command}
try on your machine

The given command is using the reflex tool along with the --start-service=trueflag and a placeholder ${command}.

Here's the breakdown of the components:

  • reflex: It is a command-line tool used for automatically recompiling and restarting Go applications when changes occur in the source code.
  • --start-service=true: This flag is used to instruct reflex to start the application as a service when it detects changes. The true value indicates that the service should be started.
  • ${command}: It is a placeholder indicating that you should replace it with the actual command you want to execute when reflex detects changes. For example, if you want to run a Go application, you would replace ${command} with the command to start your Go application.

By running this command with the correct replacement for ${command}, reflex will continuously monitor file changes and automatically recompile and restart the specified service.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
