The codewatch repository describes a file watcher that runs custom scripts automatically when source files change. The README compares it to nodemon and says it works with any language or tool. Example commands show watching a src directory and triggering npm test on change, watching Python files and running the black formatter, or watching a config directory and running a reload script. The listed features include glob pattern matching, debounced triggers so a single change does not fire the script many times, any command as the handler, configuration through a YAML file, colored output with timestamps, recursive directory watching, and multiple watch patterns at the same time. A sample codewatch.yml in the README shows named watchers for running tests, linting Python files, and rebuilding SCSS to CSS, each with its own watch glob, command, and debounce delay in milliseconds. Installation instructions tell the reader to clone the repo, run a setup script, and then link the tool globally with npm link or pip install in editable mode. The project structure section lists a watcher.js and an achievement-tracker.js under src, GitHub Actions workflows for CI and releases, a devcontainer config, and a CONTRIBUTING file. Alongside the file watcher, the README documents a separate set of shell scripts grouped under GitHub Achievement Scripts. These include quickdraw, yolo, publicist, pull-shark, and pair-extraordinaire, plus an interactive unlock-all menu and a tracker that prints progress. Each script is named after a GitHub user achievement badge. The contributing section ends by saying that every merged pull request helps unlock the Pull Shark badge. The README is short and does not show the contents of watcher.js or the actual code for the watcher logic. Several of the badge image links and the clone URL point at a placeholder GitHub username rather than the real owner of this repository.
