Software development often involves running the same commands over and over. Watchexec is a simple, standalone tool that watches a path and runs a command whenever it detects modifications.

Run linters/syntax checkers
Rebuild artifacts
Simple invocation and use, does not require a cryptic command line involving xargs
Runs on OS X, Linux, and Windows
Monitors current directory and all subdirectories for changes
Coalesces multiple filesystem events into one, for editors that use swap/backup files during saving
Uses process groups to keep hold of forking programs
