Prerequisites

Before running the server, make sure you have:

• Go installed (1.20+ recommended)
• Redis installed (for redis-cli client)

---

How to Run the Server

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/SanskarMali726/Redis-server-go.git
2. Run the Go server:

   go run .
   

By default, the server listens on: 127.0.0.1:6379

How to Connect with redis-cli

Open a terminal in your Redis installation folder (where redis-cli.exe is located).

Connect to your server:

redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379

Try out commands:

127.0.0.1:6379> PING PONG

127.0.0.1:6379> SET language Go OK

127.0.0.1:6379> GET language "Go"

127.0.0.1:6379> SET framework "Chi Router" OK

127.0.0.1:6379> GET framework "Chi Router"

127.0.0.1:6379> DEL framework (integer) 1

127.0.0.1:6379> GET framework (nil)
