gow: Start and watch the current directory.
$ gow run .
try on your machine

The command "gow run ." is used to run a Go program that is located in the current directory.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "gow" is a tool for managing Go workspaces, similar to "go" command.
  • "run" is a command within "gow" that is used to run a Go program.
  • "." indicates the current directory. When you specify ".", it will look for a Go program in the current directory and attempt to run it.

So, "gow run ." is essentially telling the "gow" tool to run the Go program located in the current directory.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
