# Fresh
Fresh is a command line tool that builds and (re)starts your web application everytime you save a Go or template file.
If the web framework you are using supports the Fresh runner, it will show build errors on your browser.
It currently works with Traffic, Martini and gocraft/web.
go get github.com/pilu/fresh
cd /path/to/myapp
Start fresh:
fresh
Fresh will watch for file events, and every time you create/modifiy/delete a file it will build and restart the application.
If go build
returns an error, it will log it in the tmp folder.
Traffic already has a middleware that shows the content of that file if it is present. This middleware is automatically added if you run a Traffic web app in dev mode with Fresh.
Check the _examples
folder if you want to use it with Martini or Gocraft Web.
You can use the -c
options if you want to specify a config file:
fresh -c runner.conf
