Browsersync Command To Browse Directories
This is the command I run to launch a quick Browsersync session to serve a directory of files that shows indexes. [TODO: Code shorthand span ] can be added to the mix to let you share files easily with someone else.
browser-sync . --watch --directory --no-notify
- This serves up the current directory you're in. Changing [TODO: Code shorthand span ] to some other path would serve that instead.
- The [TODO: Code shorthand span ] flag watches for file changes and updates the browser accordingly
- The [TODO: Code shorthand span ] flag is what sets Browsersync to serve a listing of files instead of a 404 if there's no index.html file
- The [TODO: Code shorthand span ] flag turns of a notificaiton alert that shows up on the browser when an auto update occurs
- Make sure to only serve directories you intend to if you use ngrok. (I mean, you should do it anyway, but especially if you're letting other folks see things)

[] Look into the [TODO: Code shorthand span ] flag as another option instead of [TODO: Code shorthand span ]
[] Figure out if there's a built in way to change the template used for directory listsing to dark mode
