This package contains a file watcher based on [symfony/messenger](https://github.com/symfony/messenger) and [michaelpetri/php-git](https://github.com/michaelpetri/php-git).

Since it is based on git it can emmit events for files even after it has been paused for a decent time. All changes will trigger a `FileCreated`, `FileChanged` or `FileDeleted` event which then can be handled by an event handler.

> **Note:**Keep in mind that git is not good at handling binary files and using this package can lead to bloated disk usage!
