Tiny app to serve the current directory via HTTP. Attempts to open the default browser at the served location for Linux, OSX and Windows.
Install via
go get github.com/fgeller/serve
Make sure $GOPATH/bin is part of your $PATH.
Or grab a pre-built binary from the release section and place it in a location on your $PATH.
Simply start via serve which will choose a random port:
$ serve
2015/10/26 09:26:05 Serving at http://0.0.0.0:60794.
2015/10/26 09:26:05 Opening...
Or specify a port:
$ serve 3022
2015/10/26 09:43:36 Serving at http://0.0.0.0:3022
2015/10/26 09:43:36 Opening...
Very similar to Python's SimpleHTTPServer module, which I had wrapped in the
following bash function:
function serve {
python -m SimpleHTTPServer "$@"
}
Turns out it's not straight-forward to detect the port on which the server is listening, so I couldn't simply add a step to open my browser at a newly served location.
