Interactive Builds: git-watch, cool-bazel, ibazel

README.md

Some little scripts I've found useful for development. git-watch retriggers a command when your git repo changes, so can give interactive rebuilds like ibazel except I found that https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-watcher didn't work for me at all. This is also completely agnostic to the command, so can be used with CMake as well, for instance.
