goreload:tldr:c6fa9

goreload: Set a custom log prefix (defaults to `goreload`).
$ goreload --logPrefix ${prefix} ${filename}.go
try on your machine

The given command is using the tool "goreload" to automatically reload a Go program whenever changes are detected. Here's an explanation of the different parts of the command:

  • goreload: This is the name of the tool or command being run.
  • --logPrefix ${prefix}: This flag is used to specify a prefix for log messages generated by the tool. The value of ${prefix} should be replaced with an actual prefix.
  • ${filename}.go: This is the name of the Go source file that will be monitored for changes and reloaded. The ${filename} placeholder should be replaced with the actual name of the file.

When you run this command with the appropriate values, the goreload tool will start monitoring the specified file for changes. If any changes occur, it will automatically rebuild and reload the Go program, providing you with an updated instance. The --logPrefix flag is optional and can be used to customize log messages for easier identification.
