About:
Hotbuild is a live reloading utility designed specifically for Go development workflows. It monitors source files for changes and automatically recompiles and restarts the application, significantly reducing manual build steps. This tool enhances developer productivity by providing immediate feedback on code changes without leaving the command line.
Key Features:
  • Automatic file watching and live reloading

  • Minimal configuration required
  • Optimized for Go applications
Use Cases:
  • Developing web servers or APIs with instant reloads
  • Building CLI tools with rapid iteration cycles
  • Maintaining long-running background services
Alternatives:

  • fresh – Similar live reload functionality but hotbuild emphasizes cross-platform consistency
