Description

A small command-line watcher that runs commands when files change. Developers and administrators use it to rerun tests, rebuild files, restart tools, or trigger scripts during active work.

Use it when you want simple file-change automation without setting up a larger build system. The command you attach can do anything your user can do, so review scripts before running them.
