Erlang Web Development (Erlang newbie)

I am creating a web app in Erlang with n2o. My current dilemma is the automatic syncing of changes i make to the app's source code to that with the accommodating release.

For example, I startup my app release in the erlang console, go to specific localhost:? address and see index.erl being reflected in the page with <span>Hello</span> shown. I then go back to modify the index.erl file to say Hello World instead. The changes are not reflected. So i end up regenerating a release to see the new changes.

I guess I could write a bash script to synchronize changes between the app source files and the release libraries, but I imagine there must be better ways of doing this.

What is the appropriate way of doing this?

Clone the git-repo 5HT/n2o and follow the instructions in the samples section of that repository. Make a change to one of the source files and once they are saved, you can see the updated changes in the erlang shell as well the web site itself.

The synchronization capability you're looking for is explained in the n2o README.
