Simple command to start a web server pointing at a directory of static files.
This is heavily inspired by @SimbCo's httpster project.
Installation is done via go get
, which is installed along with Go on most platforms.
go get github.com/cfchris/webit && go install github.com/cfchris/webit
Then from any directory where you want to have an http service running, just run
$GOBIN/webit
That will start up a web server on port 3333 and let you serve any static content you wish. If you want to change the port or directory that the server runs from pass in the -p or -d options
$GOBIN/webit -p 8080 -d /home/someuser/somedir
