unison-fsmonitor

Why

unison doesn't include unison-fsmonitor for macOS, thus -repeat watch option doesn't work out of the box. This utility fills the gap.

Install

brew install autozimu/formulas/unison-fsmonitor

Alternatively if you have cargo installed,

cargo install unison-fsmonitor

Usage

Simply run unison with -repeat watch as argument or repeat=watch in config file.

Increase file watch limit on macOS
