run - build and run Go apps with one command

This tool can be used to speed up the iteration time when you are working on Go applications. It basically combines go install && your-app into a single step. Another feature is to quickly setup a new package.

Installation

go get -u github.com/mbertschler/run

Usage

Build and run a package

This works if the package mycmd is located in either of those locations:

• $GORUNDIR/mycmd

# basic usage:
run mycmd

# pass any arguments as you usually would:
run mycmd -flag value file.txt

Create a new package

This command creates a new Go command in $GORUNDIR/mycmd. This will create a folder, an empty main.go file, and open this file in your editor. This is useful for small tools and scripting applications.

# create a new package:
run newcmd new

# build and run this package:
run newcmd
