Magento 2 Generated Watcher

File watcher for Magento 2 development

The purpose of this package is to improve the Magento 2 development process.

The package watches for changes to .php files in the app/code folder and removes the related generated files in generated/code, resulting in Magento recompiling the affected code.

This method is significantly faster than using the Magento CLI command setup:di:compile, which recompiles the entire codebase.
