A Go build system with file watchers, output streams and live reload. Run, build and watch file changes with custom paths

![Preview](http://i.imgur.com/GV2Yus5.png)

#### Features

- Build, Install, Test, Fmt and Run at the same time
- Live reload on file changes (re-build, re-install and re-run)
- Watch custom paths
- Watch specific file extensions
- Multiple projects support
- Output streams
- Execution times
- Highly customizable
- Fast run

#### Installation and usage

- Run this to get/install:

    ```
    $ go get github.com/tockins/realize
    ```

- From project/projects root execute:

    ```
    $ realize add
    ```

    It will create a realize.config.yaml file if it doesn't exist already and adds the working directory as the project.

    Otherwise if a config file already exists it adds another project to the existing config file.

    The add command supports the following custom parameters:

    ```
    --name="Project Name"   -> Name, if not specified takes the working directory name
    --path="server"         -> Base Path, if not specified takes the working directory name    
    --build                 -> Enables the build   
    --no-bin                -> Disables the installation
    --no-run                -> Disables the run
    --no-fmt                -> Disables the fmt (go fmt)
    ```
    Examples:

    ```
    $ realize add
    ```
    ```
    $ realize add --path="mypath"
    ```   
    ```
    $ realize add --name="My Project" --build
    ```    
    ```
    $ realize add --name="My Project" --path="/projects/package" --build
    ```    
    ```
    $ realize add --name="My Project" --path="projects/package" --build --no-run
    ```
- Remove a project by its name

    ```
    $ realize remove --name="Project Name"
    ```
- Lists all projects

    ```
    $ realize list
    ```
- Build, Run and watch file changes. Realize will re-build and re-run your projects on each change.

    ```
    $ realize run
    ```

    Fast run launches a project from its working directory without a config file

    ```
    $ realize fast
    ```

     The fast command supports the following custom parameters:

    ```
    --build                 -> Enables the build   
    --no-bin                -> Disables the installation
    --no-run                -> Disables the run
    --no-fmt                -> Disables the fmt (go fmt)
    --config                -> Take the defined settings if exist a config file  
    ```
