A faster drop-in replacement for bin/magento cache:clean with file watcher for Magento 2.
Magento Cache Clean is a developer tool that provides a faster drop-in replacement for the standard `bin/magento cache:clean` command in Magento 2. It solves the problem of slow cache clearing during development by implementing a more efficient cleaning process and adding a file watcher to automate cache invalidation when files change.
Magento 2 developers and development teams who need to improve their workflow efficiency by reducing time spent waiting for cache operations.
Developers choose this tool because it dramatically speeds up cache clearing compared to the native Magento command, includes automatic cache invalidation through file watching, and requires minimal configuration as a drop-in replacement.

Replaces the slow native `bin/magento cache:clean` command with a much faster implementation, cutting down developer wait times during frequent cache operations.
Includes a file watcher that automatically triggers targeted cache cleaning when project files change, streamlining development by eliminating manual cache clears.
Acts as a drop-in replacement with the same binary path (`vendor/bin/cache-clean.js`), ensuring compatibility with existing workflows and scripts without configuration changes.
Maintains functionality even after the package move to `mage-os/magento-cache-clean`, as the binary path remains unchanged for smooth transitions.
The original `mage2tv/magento-cache-clean` is now an empty wrapper requiring the new package, which can cause confusion and dependency management issues for unaware users.
Users must manually switch installations using Composer commands, adding an extra step that can be error-prone and disrupt setup if not done correctly.
Primarily designed for local development, not suitable for production cache management where more robust solutions like Varnish or full-page caching are needed.
