Any way to reboot my project without editing code?

Its kind of annoying having to change code to get my project to restart, so I was wondering if there is some sort of reboot button somewhere? Or maybe some way to force the program to stop if it gets stuck doing stuff.

You might be able to create an endpoint in your server that terminates the process when you hit it:

app.get("/shutdown", (req, res) => {
  res.end("OK");
  // A small timeout so that the app has the time to respond
  setTimeout(() => {
    process.exit(0);
  }, 500);
});

Glitch will restart the app automatically.

I usually change the throttle in my watch.json when I want to restart my app.

Easiest wat

process.exit(1)

It would restart the whole project.
Also, if you are on a ndoe-express application, it would install new packages, you added.
