You inherently need a build step when working with remote dependencies or even any dependency. Especially when you're working with various assets like templates, css, images, etc...
Typically, let's say for an app, you'll run a watcher which will trigger the builder, so you can just spin it up and leave it alone. For smaller components that are meant for consumption, a simple Makefile is more than enough and running the command isn't too terribly bad.
