How would this need to be changed to work on osx?

[ianlevesque]

Just need to replace inotifywait with an FSEvents-based change watcher.

watchman (https://github.com/facebook/watchman) is cross platform.

It's less efficient, but you could just use a timed solution like watch:

   watch -n 2 'git status --short; git --no-pager diff --shortstat;'

This works on OSX:

  while :; do clear; git status --short; git --no-pager diff --shortstat; sleep 2; done
