gosh

Simple HTTP file server for development with browser auto reload.

Why yet another server?

Needed a single binary which I can use on remote servers without having to install Python or a million Node.js dependencies.

Installation

Download the binary for your OS from releases. Put it in some path where it's accessible.

Usage

gosh serves the current directory on port 8000. By default, it doesn't watch for changes. To watch for changes:

gosh -watch -ext="html,css,js".

gosh -help lists all available options.

Browser support

If watching is enabled, the server intercepts all requests with Accept header text/html and injects a script which opens a EventSource connection to listen for changes. Since this requires Server-sent events, IE/Edge users are out of luck! Check if your browser is supported
