    What's probably got your shorts in a knot is the contents of the node_modules directory. That directory is a cache for mode.js modules so the tutorial can function standalone without having to install anything else. Treat it as you would object code. I pulled a half-dozen of those modules at random and went to their repositories. Every one of them had unit tests: block-stream, graceful-fs, lowercase-keys, minimist, pify and safe-buffer. Nobody sane ships unit tests with their executables.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing Watch-fn and graceful-fs you can also consider the following projects:

chokidar - Minimal and efficient cross-platform file watching library

fs-extra - Node.js: extra methods for the fs object like copy(), remove(), mkdirs()

globby - User-friendly glob matching

fs-jetpack - Better file system API for Node.js

make-dir - Make a directory and its parents if needed - Think `mkdir -p`

mkdirp - Recursively mkdir, like `mkdir -p`, but in node.js

proper-lockfile - An inter-process and inter-machine lockfile utility that works on a local or network file system.

rimraf - A `rm -rf` util for nodejs

fs-write-stream-atomic - Like `fs.createWriteStream(...)`, but atomic.
