Alternative to flushing cache in dashboard when making theme changes?

Question

Every time I make changes to the theme I'm developing I have to go into the dashboard and clear static files, css/js cache and afterwards the magento cache (in that order). I'm running in developer mode.

Is there any way to avoid having to do this every time I make a change? Or, is there any easier way?

You have two options:

1. Run bin/magento cache:clean or bin/magento cache:flush in your terminal after each change
2. Install https://github.com/mage2tv/magento-cache-clean, it makes a world of difference
