Fresh is a command line tool that watches Go source and template files and automatically rebuilds and restarts your web application on every save, create, or delete. It is configurable via a runner.conf file and can show build errors in the browser for supported web frameworks.

Use cases

  • auto-restart go web server when source files change
  • hot reload go web app during development
  • rebuild go application on file save
  • watch go and template files and rerun server
  • show build errors while developing go web apps

When to choose

  • you develop Go web applications and want automatic rebuild-and-restart on file changes
  • you want a simple, configurable file watcher for Go projects
  • you use a supported framework like Traffic, Martini, or gocraft/web and want browser-visible build errors

When to avoid

  • you need hot reloading for non-Go languages or frontend assets
  • you prefer a more actively maintained alternative like air
  • your project is not a web application that benefits from restart-on-change
