# The watch command
2015-12-30 22:04:24 +08:00
The `watch` command is useful when you want your book to be rendered on every file change.
You could repeatedly issue `mdbook build` every time a file is changed. But using `mdbook watch` once will watch your files and will trigger a build automatically whenever you modify a file.
#### Specify a directory
Like `init` and `build`, `watch` can take a directory as argument to use instead of the
current working directory.

```bash
mdbook watch path/to/book
```
