- pattern: "/Sources/**/*.swift"
command: swift run
exclude: "/**/ignore.swift"
name: Regenerate site
- pattern: "/src/scss/**/*.scss"
command: echo "compile Sass"The optional name value is used for terminal output.

-c, --config <config> The path to a configuration file.
-t, --throttle <throttle>
The minimum interval, in seconds, between command execution in response to file changes.
