Description

Automates feedback loops by rerunning commands when watched files change. It is useful for developers who want tests, builds, linters, generators, or preview commands to react immediately while they edit a project.

This is a command-line watcher. It can repeatedly run commands that modify files or start processes, so the watched paths and command arguments should be chosen carefully to avoid loops or unintended writes.
