CompileDaemon is a simple file-watching daemon for Go that recompiles your project with `go build` whenever source files change, optionally running a command after each successful build. It supports recursive watching, glob-based include/exclude filters, polling fallback, and graceful child process termination.
Use cases
- automatically rebuild my go project when files change
- hot reload go server during development
- watch directory and rerun command on file save
- recompile and restart go app on code changes
- go live reload tool for local development
When to choose
- you want a minimal, zero-config rebuild-on-save loop for Go projects
- you need a post-build command to restart your app automatically
- you work on a filesystem where inotify-style notifications are unreliable and need polling
When to avoid
- you need hot code swapping without a full rebuild
- you want an all-in-one dev server with proxying or asset pipelines
- your project is not Go/C-based or you need multi-language watch orchestration
