Boost your productivity with XRefresh

9 August 2010 Screencasts
Aslam Najeebdeen

Are you really frustrated to switch from your text editor to your browser to see the changes you’ve applied? In this screencast Aslam shows you how you can boost your productivity by using XRefresh

Notes:

Prevent unexpected refreshing

To prevent unexpected refreshing, set very specific paths to your projects in ~/.xrefresh-server.yml. By default it monitors whole home folder with some exceptions.

mate ~/.xrefresh-server.yml

Comment out the first line under path and include the absolute path to your project folder.

# here specify list of paths to monitor
paths:
# - /Users/aslam # by default watch user's home directory

    - /Users/aslam/Projects/Active/speedy
   
# - /you/may/add/here/some/other/path
# - /you/may/add/here/some/another/path

    Hi Mohamed, thanks for nice screencast.

    To prevent unexpected refreshing I would recommend to set very specific paths to your projects in ~/.xrefresh-server.yml. By default it monitors whole home folder with some exceptions.
