goreload: Set the name of the binary file to watch (defaults to `.goreload`).
$ goreload -b ${path-to-binary} ${filename}.go
try on your machine
This command is used to automatically restart a Go application when changes are made to the code. Let's break it down:
goreload
is a command-line tool used for live reloading of Go applications.-b
flag stands for "build" and is used to compile the Go code into a binary executable.${path-to-binary}
is a placeholder for the path where the binary executable will be created or is present. You need to replace it with the actual path.${filename}.go
is another placeholder for the Go source file that you want to watch for changes. You need to replace${filename}
with the actual name of your Go file (without the extension ".go").
When you run this command, goreload
will build the Go code into a binary based on the path specified by ${path-to-binary}
. Then, it will monitor the specified ${filename}.go
file for changes. Whenever you make changes and save the file, goreload
will automatically recompile the code into a new binary, and restart the application using the updated binary.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
