Summary
Adds an --incremental (-i) option to the xcsync watch command.
When enabled, watch mode syncs only the files related to the changed source/Xcode file instead of re-running a full project sync on every change.
Why
Today, xcsync watch performs a full synchronization whenever a file changes. That is more work than necessary for small edits and makes watch mode slower and noisier during normal development.
This change introduces an incremental mode so watch can react more efficiently to single-file changes while preserving the existing full-sync behavior by default.
The xsync was unusable in my environment because if I change something in XCode, it takes around 1 minute to propagate the change to C# codebase. I have there around 30 items in XCode. With incremental option, it's within a few seconds.
What changed
Added --incremental / -i to xcsync watch
Threaded the option through watch execution into change handling
Updated change messages to carry whether the sync should be incremental
Passed the changed file path into sync so only affected types/files are processed
Kept default behavior unchanged when the option is not specified
Result
With xcsync watch --incremental, edits in watch mode trigger a targeted sync for the changed file instead of syncing the entire project.
