I built a file-watching tool
I love automating small tasks. It’s so satisfying to have something done for me automatically without having to open a terminal and run a command.
One thing I do a lot is to convert .heic or .heif files from my iPhone to JPG. I was thinking about writing a little alias in my ~/.zshrc but then it occurred to me, “surely there must be a way to do this automatically!”.
So I did a little research with Claude and learned about the Chokidar NodeJS library which is “A minimal and efficient cross-platform file watching library.”
At first, I was just going to write a little NodeJS script which watched my downloads directory and automatically converted files to JPG. But then it occurred to me, I could do lots of automation with this.
So I wrote:
File Watcher (fw) – A cli tool for watching folders and triggering actions
You define a rules YAML file which has different rules tied to different folders and file events. Each rule has an action which then does whatever you want to the file. At the moment, actions are just shell scripts but I plan to add some kind of plugin architecture to allow for more complicated actions.
For example, here’s my rules file with the rule to convert .heic and .heif files:
rules:
- name: "Convert images to JPG"
path: /Users/mark/Downloads
pattern: "*.{png,webp,heic,heif,tiff,tif,bmp,avif}"
events: [add]
action: 'magick "{filepath}" "{dir}/{basename}.jpg" && osascript -e "tell application \"Finder\" to delete POSIX file \"{filepath}\""'
onFailure: stopThat converts the file and puts the original in the macOS trash can. In theory, this works on Linux too (I haven’t tested) so this rule would need to be tweaked a bit for Linux.
Rules can be tied to add, change, and unlink (delete) events. We don’t currently support a single rule with multiple events. Though you can have a single rule which watches multiple paths.
rules:
- name: "Some rule"
path:
- /tmp
- /Users/mark/Downloads
...For now, I run the tool manually in a terminal but the README has instructions for running it as a service on macOS or Linux. There are also lots of example rules and details about the rules file syntax.
Hopefully somebody else will find this useful. If you come up with any fun rules, let me know here or on GitHub.

Sharing #Java utilities across teams can be messy. With #JBang catalogs, you can version scripts, create templates & call them like CLI tools. @yostane shows how.

FOSS Advent Calendar - Door 15: See the Logic, Not Just the Lines with Difftastic
Forget confusing text diffs. Difftastic is a brilliant open-source tool that shows the true intent of your code changes. It understands programming syntax, ignores formatting noise, and highlights semantic differences in your commits, perfect for clear code reviews and complex refactorings. It acts like X-Ray for your code, detecting when you’ve moved a function or changed logic, not just edited text. By ignoring formatting changes, it shows what actually changed, not what your autoformatter did. Plus, it runs entirely offline, so your code never leaves your machine, and it supports over 50 languages and formats, from Python and Rust to JSON and Markdown.
Pro tip: Integrate it as your Git difftool to review pull requests with clarity and instantly grasp the developer’s intent.
