I've been in the market for a tool like this. If this or dura used inotify events instead of polling, I'd use it in a heartbeat.<p>[long story about a weird real-world use case for this kind of tool]<p>For "reasons" I work in a cloud-based container that has persistent storage mounted via NFS. That's where we're supposed to keep our git repos, since that's the only place where we get persistence. The codebase is huge though, and "git status" takes upwards of 10 seconds on the NFS.<p>I started keeping my .git directory in the NFS and having the actual files on the "local" container filesystem. That makes git fast again. But it means I lose any untracked changes when my container dies.<p>I'm currently using an insane solution that I want to get rid. I'm using lsyncd to rsync my files back to the NFS as I work. But recovery is still slow as death, so I pointed lsyncd to an "rsync" script that runs rsync and then does a git diff (with hacky nonsense to include untracked files in the diff.) When I lose my container, I can then apply that diff after rebuilding the repo files. It's insane but it works really well.<p>At any rate, this is a cool project. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself to use this instead of rolling my own ungodly hackfest of a solution.
