wgo: a live reload tool for Go
wgo is simpler, simply prepend 'w' to any go run command to make it wgo run and now it does the same thing as go run but it also reloads the program whenever a Go file changes. Also takes in the same build flags as go run. Very intuitive to use.

The last problem for now is a hot reload module. Whenever we create a fiber app we don't have any change listener by default. If fiber has this already and I do not know about it then forgive me for that I am relatively new to this. If you know anything about this, let me know in the comments. To solve this problem I figured out to include air in the project.
