gow
Missing watch mode for Go commands. Watch Go files and execute a command like "go run" or "go test" (by mitranim)
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.
I used to use Air for live reload, but I really didn't like the config file requirement and noisy log output. Plus running a cross-platform config file is impossible (because windows requires the .exe suffix), which really sucks because air is so reliant on its config file in the first place.
How does it compare to entr?
I use gow. How does it compare with it?
