Run the command to save the file in Intellij IDEA

Question

I want to run a script when the file is saved. (This is an automatic git commit in git-wip vein). This is due to Save Actions in IntelliJ IDEA , but it mainly attracted answers to reformatting the code. He was also asked 3 years ago. The only snippet I found was http://arhipov.blogspot.hu/2011/04/code-snippet-intercepting-on-save.html . So I wonder if any things have changed, and now it’s easy to add save-hook.

I think you have at least two options:

• Use the JetBrains File Watchers plugin:

  • Plugin: http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin?pr=idea&pluginId=7177
  • Doc: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/using-file-watchers.html

  NB: Doesn't work on Idea 11 IntelliJ.

• Use a similar program outside of IntelliJ. I use fswatch (works with Unix-based OSes, including OSX) installed through MacPorts (install fswatch port):
