(synopsis "Run arbitrary commands when files change")
(description
"entr is a zero-configuration tool with no external build or run-time
dependencies. The interface to entr is not only minimal, it aims to be simple
enough to create a new category of ad hoc automation. These micro-tests
reduce keystrokes, but more importantly they emphasize the utility of
automated checks.")
"@acronym{entr, event notify test runner} reads a list of file names from
standard input and executes a given command (including arguments) whenever any
of them change. It aims to facilitate rapid feedback and automated testing.
For example, you can use @command{entr} to automatically invoke @command{make}
each time you modify a source code file. It supports interactive utilities and
doesn't waste resources by polling for changes.")
