watchman basic example

I found the watchman docs hard to follow / bereft of useful examples. Below is my attempt at a quickstart guide; see ryan-williams/watchman-helpers for some aliases and other scripts.

• 0. Install watchman
• 1. Configure a "watch" on the current directory
  • 1b. List currently watched directories
  • 1c. Remove a watched directory
• 2. Set up a "trigger": continuously run a command in response to changes
  • 2a. rsync a directory to a remote host
• Is there a simpler way to trigger on all files?

I hit some issues installing a Nitto BM-5R rack (1, 2) on my Brompton Electric:

Having fastened 3 of the 4 rack/stay mount points (as well as 2 stay-frame points and the rack/fender/frame and rack/fender points), the 4th rack/stay mount is misaligned beyond my ability to force it into place.

I'm not sure if I've installed it incorrectly, or what. The light cable is also ≈½" too short to reach the light-mount points on the back of the rack.

Here are some close-ups:
