nodemon

Generic

Nodemon javascript egg that automatically restarts the node application when file changes in the directory are detected This will clone a git repo for a bot. it defaults to master if no branch is specified. Installs the node_modules on install. If you set user_upload, then I assume you know what you are doing.
