#   Idea and original code taken from https://github.com/nevik/gitwatch
#   adopted to the needs of OSX
#
#   Requires the command 'fswatch' to be available, and (obviously) git.
#   Will check the availability of both commands using the `which` command
#   and will abort if either command (or `which`) is not found.
