Description

Watches filesystem changes from Python code or command-line utilities. It helps development servers, sync tools, backup helpers, and automation react when files are created, modified, moved, or deleted.

Developers use it as a library or CLI tool. File watchers can process many paths quickly, so filter watched directories and avoid triggering unsafe commands on untrusted changes.

How to run
