reviewd

reviewd is a software daemon that monitors a directory for changes and triggers actions when modifications are detected. It is designed to facilitate automated workflows in development and system administration tasks. The primary function of reviewd is to watch specified file paths, such as source code directories or configuration folders, for alterations. When a change is identified, such as a file being created, deleted, or modified, reviewd can be configured to execute a predefined command or script. This can include actions like recompiling code, running tests, deploying updates, or restarting services. The daemon is typically implemented as a background process, ensuring continuous monitoring without user intervention. Configuration of reviewd usually involves specifying the directories to monitor and the commands to run upon detecting changes. Its lightweight nature makes it suitable for integration into various development environments and deployment pipelines, aiming to improve efficiency by automating repetitive tasks that are dependent on file system events.
