<h3 id="init-GUARDS-">init [GUARDS]</h3>

For instance to initialize guard-rspec, run <code>guard init rspec</code>.</p>
<h3 id="list">list</h3>
<p>Lists Guard plugins that can be used with the <code>init</code> command.</p>

<p>List defined groups and Guard plugins for the current Guardfile.</p>
<h3 id="-h-help-COMMAND-">-h, help [COMMAND]</h3>

<p><code>[bundle exec] guard [start] --watchdirs ~/dev --guardfile ~/env/Guardfile --clear --group backend frontend --notify false --debug</code></p>
<p>or in a more concise way:</p>
<p><code>[bundle exec] guard [start] -w ~/dev -G ~/env/Guardfile -c -g backend frontend -n f -d</code></p>
