  Version         : 2.5

  Description     : Run arbitrary commands when files change

The Event Notify Test Runner (entr) runs arbitrary commands when
files change. Changes are detected through the kqueue/inotify
kernel interface.
  
For Debian:

entr is a nice, portable (runs both on BSD an Linux),
zero-configuration alternative to iwatch, inotify-tools or
fileschanged.

entr is a simple single-binary package, is properly documented and
includes a small test suite.

The package is already available:

  https://github.com/wavexx/debian-entr/

Upstream is very responsive.
