🔹 watch` — watch database for changes (not yet implemented)

Source Code

ingitdb watch [--path=PATH] [--format=text|json]

Flag	Description
--path=PATH	Path to the database directory. Defaults to the current working directory.
--format=FORMAT	Output format: text (default) or json.

Watches the database directory for file-system changes and writes a structured event to stdout for every record that is added, updated, or deleted. Runs in the foreground until interrupted.

Examples:

# 📘 Watch the current directory, text output
ingitdb watch

# 🔁 Watch a specific database path with JSON output (pipe-friendly)
ingitdb watch --path=/var/db/myapp --format=json

Text output example:

Record /countries/gb/cities/london: added
Record /countries/gb/cities/london: 2 fields updated: {population: 9000000, area: 1572}
Record /countries/gb/cities/london: deleted

JSON output example (--format=json):

{"type":"added","record":"/countries/gb/cities/london"}
{"type":"updated","record":"/countries/gb/cities/london","fields":{"population":9000000,"area":1572}}
{"type":"deleted","record":"/countries/gb/cities/london"}
