title: Is it possible to load a userscript from the local filesystem?
body: <p>Is it possible to load a userscript from the local file system, such that updates to the userscript from an external code editor (like VS Code) would automatically reflect in Tampermonkey?</p>
  
  <p>In my case the userscript is part of a cloned git repository, and I find it much easier to make the changes in VS Code, reload the webpage in Chrome to view live results, and commit instantly; than to code in Tampermonkey's JS editor (which is not as good as that of VS Code :(, copy the file to VS Code when I'm done, and then commit it.</p>
  
  <p>I looked around the internet but could not figure out how to do this/if this is possible or not.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Tampermonkey with Chrome 70, although answers that cover Firefox and others will be appreciated (since I plan to move to other browsers soon)</p>

  <p>I looked at the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/13672143/2675672">second answer</a> of a similar question. It does not seem to respect <code>@require</code> directives in my userscript. To test this, I quickly added a <code>console.log("test");</code> to my first <code>@require</code>d file and it didn't log. The <code>@require</code>s are critical to my workflow.</p>
