prqlc: Watch a directory and compile on file modification.
$ prqlc watch ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The given command prqlc watch ${path-to-directory} is likely using a command-line tool called prqlc to actively monitor and watch changes in a specific directory.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • prqlc: This is the name of the command-line tool that is being used.
  • watch: This is an argument or option provided to the prqlc command, indicating that it should watch a specified directory for changes.
  • ${path-to-directory}: This is a placeholder representing the actual path to the directory you want to monitor. You need to replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path, such as /home/user/documents or C:\MyFiles\images. The command expects the full path to the directory, which can be absolute or relative.

By running this command, the prqlc tool will continuously monitor the specified directory for any modifications, such as file creations, updates, or deletions. It's useful when you want to keep track of changes in a directory in real-time.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
