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
