You could look into entr.

Watchman: Execute a command when something changes
Not sure what generated interest in this.
This was a project I did for my personal use case. But I haven't been using it since years. I'd recommend [entr](https://github.com/clibs/entr) for the use case watchman was to serve.

How to automatically run a command when directory updates?
entr is what I usually reach for when I want to monitor a directory or a list of files and then perform some action on them when changes occur

Show HN: Pystitcher – A Declarative Alternative to Pdftk
I've tested it against a 800 page compilation and didn't face any issues : https://github.com/captn3m0/pdp-book
It's obviously not fast enough for live-recompilations with very large projects, but for smaller projects I've run it against entr[0], and it was pretty good.

MakeMake: Generate make files from C source code
Or even better, fswatch (https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch) which works on Linux, BSDs, macOS, Windows, and even Solaris

Are there any CLIs or good ways on macOS to real-time / continuously sync two folders on the same drive?
If you don’t mind shell shell scripting you can use something like fswatch and some shell logic to do something similar.

File System Watcher
Well, I am not too lazy to search but I was interested in your experience, especially with reliability.
This one looks interesting: https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch

Watchman: Execute a command when something changes
The required kernel hooks exist in pretty much any common OS these days, it is a user-space tool that is sometimes missing.
It may not be installed by default, but inotifywait is available in common Linux distributions, usually in a package called something like ionotify-tools, and has been for over a decade-ana-half IIRC. It'll work under WSL on Windows too, though only for ext4 devices not bits of the Windows filesystem made available to Linux.
I can't speak to what other OSs include by default, but as every major OS has a different API for defining how to register a lister and how it gets messages no built-in tool is going to be cross platform. There are third party tools which present more cross-platform consistency, most notably https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch#readme (also available in common Linux distros, just an apt install away in Debian for instance).

Build a Rails script watcher/runner using fswatch
fswatch is a cross-platform file change monitor. It will watch any files you specify, then run a script on change.
- Is there a way to trigger an action when a file is transfered via another computer?
-
Script only runs when it sees new file that fits criteria help needed
You can do this without polling using a util like fswatch: https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch

GhostSCAD: Marrying OpenSCAD and Golang
> It watches source files, and regenerates the OpenSCAD files automatically
inotify() is awesome. Here's a library in python that does it.
https://michaelcho.me/article/using-pythons-watchdog-to-moni...
There's also inotifywatch on linux and fswatch on mac. I'm sure there's alternatives for BSD Unix and Windows, but I care the least about those OS's.

Optimizing templates
For development it's easy to just ParseFiles before every Execute to be sure you have the latest version. But for production something else is needed, fx watch for changes in files and have this trigger a reload (fx using https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch).
What are some alternatives?
watchman - Watches files and records, or triggers actions, when they change.
inotify-tools - inotify-tools is a C library and a set of command-line programs providing a simple interface to inotify.
watchexec - Executes commands in response to file modifications
watchdog - Python library and shell utilities to monitor filesystem events.
semver - Semantic Versioning Specification
reflex - Run a command when files change
HomeBrew - 🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)
pikepdf - A Python library for reading and writing PDF, powered by QPDF
inotify-rs - Idiomatic inotify wrapper for the Rust programming language
WatchMod - Watch for modifications to trigger actions. Useful for compiling Go templates, Sass, Typescript, and more.
SolidPython - A python frontend for solid modelling that compiles to OpenSCAD
