data diff hot reloading

[sungchun12]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It can get tedious writing out the full command because I make slight changes to the dbt command and it slows down my pace. Arrow-keying up for command history isn't enough.
dbt run --select <MODEL> && data-diff --dbt

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

I invoke dbt run --select <MODEL> and data-diff gets invoked automatically without ever having to write out or manually invoke the command.

• It can run as a background process to notice changes to the run_results.json and manifest.json files to then run the diffs
• A clever mechanism that when the compiled files are created it pokes at the data-diff process to be invoked vs. a background process polling for changes
• Python packages that come to mind: watchdog

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

• Build my own alias command, but then I'd have to maintain it and I'm not a fan of that

Happy to build this feature out myself if capacity is an issue!

This would be awesome. In an ideal state data-diff is not adding any additional process to the development workflow, we're removing repetitive process and tedious commands.
