We use watchman with our Go apps: https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/install.html https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/install.html It's straightforward to use but also has a ton of options so you can do whatever you want with it. It also handles common issues you'll run into when working with larger codebases where you end up watching over too many files. And finally, it has configuration files so you can have the same setup as the rest of the engineers on your team. More importantly, it's actively maintained and has been out for a while, and it's not specific to Go apps: you can use it for anything you want to watch and execute on.
