> The inotify variant has been tested and is non-functional on MacOS with Apple Silicon chipsets due to the unavailability of ext-inotify. However, I was unable to conduct tests on other chipsets.

Due to hardware limitations of the Apple Silicon chipsets on macOS, the `ext-inotif` extension is not supported. Consequently, we offer two different build variants to handle this
situation:

1. **Non-inotify Variant:** This is a standard variant that doesn't rely on the `inotify` extension. It involves the following step:
- When a new token is generated, the current process should be manually stopped.
- After stopping the process, rerun the upload command to recognize and use the new token in the build process.


2. **Inotify Variant:** This variant provides an automated process, leveraging the 'inotify' feature available on Linux. It works as follows:
- The build process automatically detects when a new token is generated - without the need for human intervention.
- Therefore, there's no need to manually stop and rerun the process - saving time and reducing possible errors.

Please note that the Inotify variant offers a more efficient and seamless experience but it is not compatible with macOS environment that use Apple Silicon chipsets. On the other
hand, this variant is highly recommended for Linux users who have the `inotify` extension installed and enabled.
