SYNOPSIS
git fsmonitor--daemon start git fsmonitor--daemon run git fsmonitor--daemon stop git fsmonitor--daemon status
DESCRIPTION
A daemon to watch the working directory for file and directory changes using platform-specific file system notification facilities.
This daemon communicates directly with commands like git status
using the simple IPC interface
instead of the slower githooks[5] interface.
This daemon is built into Git so that no third-party tools are required.
REMARKS
This daemon is a long running process used to watch a single working
directory and maintain a list of the recently changed files and
directories. Performance of commands such as git status
can be
increased if they just ask for a summary of changes to the working
directory and can avoid scanning the disk.
When core.fsmonitor
is set to true
(see git-config[1])
commands, such as git status
, will ask the daemon for changes and
automatically start it (if necessary).
For more information see the "File System Monitor" section in git-update-index[1].
CAVEATS
The fsmonitor daemon does not currently know about submodules and does not know to filter out file system events that happen within a submodule. If fsmonitor daemon is watching a super repo and a file is modified within the working directory of a submodule, it will report the change (as happening against the super repo). However, the client will properly ignore these extra events, so performance may be affected but it will not cause an incorrect result.
