gorefresh - the missing go run --watch

Are you tired of running go run every time you make a change to your Go code? Do you want to run your Go code as soon as you save it? gorefresh is a simple tool that watches your Go files and runs them whenever they change. I built this because I was tired of configuring reflex or air, especially when using embedded files. I wanted a simple tool that would just work.

🌟 Key Features

• Automatically discovers dependencies (Go, cgo and embedded files) based on the main module directory.
• Builds and restarts only if the dependencies have changed (see gosha).
• Supports program arguments.

📘 Usage

gorefresh <main-module-directory> -- [ program arguments ]

📥 Installation

Install the CLI tool using go get:

go install github.com/draganm/gorefresh

Or with Nix:

nix run github:draganm/gorefresh

Future work

• Support for build arguments
• Restart only if the build outputs change
