The display method can be changed in real time.\n- Can output the execution result as log (json format).\n- Can load diffmode plugins as dynamic libraries and add custom diff rendering.\n- Custom keymaps are available.\n- Support ANSI color code.\n- Execution result can be scroll.\n- Not only as a TUI application, but also to have the differences output as standard output.\n- If a difference occurs, you can have the specified command additionally executed.\n\n## Install\n\n### Official Distro Packages\n\n#### Debian\n\n`hwatch` has been accepted into Debian `unstable`, although availability may depend on mirror sync status.\n\nIf you need it immediately, use the release `.deb` package from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/blacknon/hwatch/releases).\n\n#### Fedora\n\nOfficial Fedora packaging is in progress and not yet available from Fedora repositories.\n\n#### EPEL\n\nEPEL packaging is planned after Fedora packaging is finalized.\n\n#### Alpine Linux (edge/testing)\n\n```bash\napk add hwatch\n```\n\n#### Packaging Status\n\nThis repository includes packaging metadata for Debian-style `.deb` builds and RPM-based distributions, and GitHub Releases publishes prebuilt archives plus generated `.deb` and `.rpm` assets while official distro packaging is being worked on.\n\nGitHub Actions validates the packaging flow in distro-specific containers:\n\n- Debian packaging is checked in a `debian:sid` container\n- RPM packaging is checked in a `fedora:latest` container\n\nThese checks are intended to catch packaging regressions early while the project works toward official distribution packa",
