which lets you keep the application running as you make changes.
This can reduce the burden of interacting with Bazel while debugging a program or test.
The example repository has this already set up on the PATH thanks to direnv.
ibazel accepts most of the same command-line arguments as bazel.
To try it, run:
print statement, and you should see that immediately appear in the terminal.
In this case, the program is restarted after each change. The 203 course covers how to keep it running as a daemon, which makes a faster devserver experience.
