Pulling external file changes to a tangled org-babel src block is surprisingly not a well-implemented feature. This addresses that. Any block that has :tangle will compare the block with that external . When a diff is detected, 1 of 5 actions can occur: 1. External - contents will override the block contents 2. Internal - block will keep the block contents 3. Prompt - The user will be prompted to pull external changes 4. Diff - A diff of the and block contents will be produced 5. Custom - A user-defined function will be called instead. These 5 options can be set as the default action by changing the `org-tanglesync-default-diff-action` custom parameter. Otherwise individual block actions can be set in the org src block header e.g. `:diff external` for pulling external changes without prompt into a specific block. This package also provides a hook when the org src block is being edited (e.g. via `C-c '`) which asks the user if they want to pull external changes if a difference is detected. The user can bypass this and always pull by setting the `org-tanglesync-skip-user-check` custom parameter. Since v1.1, a "watch" mode has been added that does not require you to be within the org buffer to sync changes to the tangled blocks, but can now instead modify directly from the external tangled buffer and the changes will be synced back to the org file in the background. The `org-tanglesync-watch-files` needs only to be set a list of org files with tangled blocks, and `org-tanglesync-watch-mode` needs to enabled globally.
