========

`gin` is a simple command line utility for live-reloading Go web applications. 
Just run `gin` in your app directory and your web app will be served with 
`gin` as a proxy. `gin` will automatically recompile your code when it 
detects a change. Your app will be restarted the next time it receives an 
HTTP request.

`gin` adheres to the "silence is golden" principle, so it will only complain 
if there was a compiler error or if you succesfully compile after an error.

## Installation

Assuming you have a working Go environment and `GOPATH/bin` is in your 
`PATH`, `gin` is a breeze to install:

```shell
go get github.com/codegangsta/gin
```

Then verify that `gin` was installed correctly:

```shell
gin -h
```

## Supporting Gin in Your Web app
`gin` assumes that your web app binds itself to the `PORT` environment 
variable so it can properly proxy requests to your app. Web frameworks 
like [Martini](http://github.com/codegangsta/martini) do this out of 
the box.
