CLI tool to run a command if file has changed since the last time that command
was run.

Forgetting to run `npm i` or `npm ci` every time after `git pull` or switching
between branches and getting `Error: Cannot find module...`? Add the following
to `package.json` to automate this chore.

```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "prestart": "npx @olegjs/on-change --file package-lock.json npm ci"
  }
}
```

This CLI tool stores a file checksum in a hidden `sha` file every time it run a
given command. Made to automate running `npm ci` after pulling modified
`package-lock.json`.
