Handlebars (.hbs) files are not being watched

Issue description
At first, I was confused as to why ts-node-dev doesn't watch .hbs files (because with nodemon it worked, but I can't make it to see .d.ts files).
Then I thought that .hbs files are not really a dependency for a server (they are) and that I should manually refresh browser tab to make server read updated .hbs files. No, it doesn't work. I don't know why, but I'm guessing it's some kind of caching or read-only-once thing with handlebars/express. In any case, when I delete a DOM element from a .hbs file, it won't disappear in a browser tab until I restart my express server.
So now I'm again confused why ts-node-dev doesn't look for .hbs files and there are no options in node-dev/ts-node to watch files with hbs extension. And there are no issues about hbs at all! Am I the only one who's missing something? Please help.
Context
OS version (is it docker or host?), ts-node-dev version
Host Pop!_OS 22.04
Did you try to run with ts-node?
Problem with restarting.
Did you try to run with --files option enabled?
Yes.
Did you try to run with --debug option enabled?
Yes.
Do you have a repro example (git repo) with simple steps to reproduce your problem?
No, but I can make one, if needed.
@Andrew15-5
maybe you can use --watch option watch your .hbs files.
--watch - Explicitly add arbitrary files or folders to watch and restart on change
Oh... yeah... this one slipped under my radar. Thanks, it works!
