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:

Upstream is very responsive.
