Install
A light-weight Go server that hosts the file directory it's in (HTML or otherwise) over HTTP. Inspired by simple Unix programs that do one thing well.
Can be used for local development or production static-site serving as a run-your-own Github-pages. By default, go-live hosts the directory it is executed in.
Based on JavaScript's famous
live-server
utility, but much faster, lighter (4 MB), and doesn't require Node.js to be installed. Can also be used for production file serving.Supports Linux, Windows, and Mac, as well as ARM and x64. Please leave all comments, questions, or suggestions in the Github issues.
