browser-sync)

Keep multiple browsers & devices in sync when building websites.

BrowserSync is developed and maintained internally at JH, follow @BrowserSync on twitter for news & updates.

##Features

Scroll - I can keep your pages in sync when scrolling.
Forms - You fill out a form in one browser, I'll copy the data to all the others.
Links - I'll watch your clicks and make all the other browsers follow you.
CSS injecting - I can even watch your CSS files & inject them when they change.
Live Reload - I can also watch files like HTML and PHP & when they change I can reload all browsers for you.
Built-in Server - Yep, I can serve static files too if you need me to (uses Connect).
Use with any back-end setup - I even have a proxy option so that I can be used with existing PHP, Rails, Python, Node or ASP.net setup.
Public URL - View your website via a URL that any internet connected device can access & maintain all BrowserSync features.
Browser Stack support - Use the all of my features when viewing your site through Browser Stack.

##When is it useful? It's pretty useful when used with a single browser, watching a CSS file for changes & injecting it. But the real power comes when you're building responsive sites and using multiple devices/monitors because it can keep all browsers in sync & make your workflow much faster.

##Requirements BrowserSync works by injecting an asynchronous script tag (<script async>...</script>) right after the <body> tag during initial request. In order for this to work properly the <body> tag must be present. Alternatively you can provide a custom rule for the snippet using snippetOptions

##Install

npm install -g browser-sync
