Is it possible to automatically run the reveal-ck generate command each time I change my slides file?

You can use guard and the guard-shell to accomplish this.

Start with a gem install guard-shell, and then create a Guardfile that contains this content:

guard :shell do
  watch(/^slides\.\S{2,7}$/) do |m|
    puts "Matched with '#{m}'"
    `reveal-ck generate`
  end
  watch(/^config\.yml$/) do |m|
    puts "Matched with '#{m}'"
    `reveal-ck generate`
  end
end

Then run guard in your project. Any changes to a file beginning with "slides" (slides.md, slides.haml, etc) or the central configuration will cause a generate command to run.

You'll then be able to just refresh your browser and see the new content.
