+If you are tired of constantly restarting your server, google the `nodemon` package to see if that will be useful for you! 
 
+Also starting from **Node.js 18**, there is a built-in `--watch` flag that allows you to automatically restart your script when files change — similar to what `nodemon` does, but **without installing any extra packages**.

+Run your script with the --watch flag directly in your command line or add it to your package.json scripts like this:
+
+```bash
+node --watch script.js
