What is this?

It keeps an eye on files in a directory. If a file changes, this thing calls a batch file.

How to use.

Take the files in this repo and put them in the root directory where you want file watching to occur.

Then run:

./sidekick.bat

The command above builds an exe. It's assumed that Visual Studio is installed at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Roslyn\csc.exe

Change ./sidekick.bat if needed.

Once the app is built, it'll be started. Once started, if any file changes, watch.bat will be executed with the full path of the file that was changed. From there you can delegate to whatever you'd like in a non-compiled language.
