How to start a Go project in 2023
The article mentions GOW[0] for a file watcher. If anyone is looking for a non-go specific one, I've really enjoyed reflex[1]. Makes it super easy to reload different parts of a project based on what type of file has changed.

wgo: a live reload tool for Go
I use gow. How does it compare with it?

Golang's "go install" - what about other developers? Automation of dependency download
I try to build my first project. Currently I focus on tests (TDD) so I looked for some library/package to watch tests. I found: gow: https://github.com/mitranim/gow.
- mitranim/gow: watch mode for Go commands

I use the gin (not the framework) reload tool a lot, but I notice it's failing on github
I use this one https://github.com/mitranim/gow

Hot reloading in Go applications
Modd is a library that makes hot reloading possible in Go applications. To use it, install it on your machine using the command below:
- Implement auto-reload after update

Ask HN: Can I see your scripts?
There's also modd[0] which allows for many file watch pattern -> command combos to easily be defined & run simultaneously from a modd.conf file.

Hot reload in golang
i was using cortesi/modd for this while using docker. Since I change to Rancher with dockerd i wasn’t able to get live reloading working again, i also tried air but no luck.. out of curiosity did anyone have a similar issue?

Live Reload in Go with Air
Interesting. I've been using https://github.com/cortesi/modd for this for a while but I'll check this project out.
- Ask HN: What developer tools would you like to see?
- Live previewing LaTeX document?
- docker-compose without dockers

Live Reloading in Golang using Air
me likes: https://github.com/cortesi/modd A little more flexible for various files

We don’t use a staging environment
I use a somewhat similar approach for Pirsch [0]. It's build so that I can run it locally, basically as a fully fledged staging environment. Databases run in Docker, everything else is started using modd [1]. This has proven to be a good setup for quick iterations and testing. I can quickly run all tests on my laptop (Go and TypeScript) and even import data from production to see if the statistics are correct for real data. Of course, there are some things that need to be mocked, like automated backups, but so fare it turns out to work really well.
You can find more on our blog [2] if you would like to know more.
