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.

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).

Any else using Meta's née Facebook's Watchman service?
Facebook Meta's Watchman Service looks very useful for watching for changes in files and directories to kick off automation. Still, there seem to be a bunch of gotchas with it that only come to light after trying to mess with it. The docs seem lacking, the Python library needs to be updated, and even the installation on non-Ubuntu or Red Hat distros requires a rebuild, which has been somewhat problematic given the build tools. Also, no official Docker container.

Watchman: Execute a command when something changes
Not to be confused with Facebook’s file watch daemon, which does the same sort of thing but is more complicated. There’s a bunch of tools that integrate Facebook’s watchman for more efficient change tracking.
