Installation and usage

Run this to get/install:
```
$ go get github.com/tockins/realize
```

From project/projects root execute:

$ realize add

It will create a realize.config.yaml file if it doesn't exist already and adds the working directory as the project.

Otherwise if a config file already exists it adds another project to the existing config file.

The add command supports the following custom parameters:

--name="Project Name"   -> Name, if not specified takes the working directory name
--path="server"         -> Custom Path, if not specified takes the working directory name    
--build                 -> Enables the build   
--test                  -> Enables the tests  
--no-bin                -> Disables the installation
--no-run                -> Disables the run
--no-fmt                -> Disables the fmt (go fmt)
--no-server             -> Disables the web panel (port :5000)
--open                  -> Open the web panel in a new browser window

Examples:

$ realize add

$ realize add --path="mypath"

$ realize add --name="My Project" --build

$ realize add --name="My Project" --path="/projects/package" --build

$ realize add --name="My Project" --path="projects/package" --build --no-run

$ realize add --path="/Users/alessio/go/src/github.com/tockins/realize-examples/coin/"

If you want, you can specify additional arguments for your project.

The additional arguments must go after the options of "Realize"

$ realize add --path="/print/printer" --no-run yourParams --yourFlags // correct

$ realize add yourParams --yourFlags --path="/print/printer" --no-run // wrong

Remove a project by its name
```
$ realize remove --name="Project Name"
```
Lists all projects
```
$ realize list
```

Build, Run and watch file changes. Realize will re-build and re-run your projects on each change.

$ realize run

Fast run launches a project from its working directory without a config file

$ realize fast

The fast command supports the following custom parameters:

--path="server"         -> Custom Path, if not specified takes the working directory name 
--build                 -> Enables the build   
--test                  -> Enables the tests   
--config                -> Take the defined settings if exist a config file  
--no-bin                -> Disables the installation
--no-run                -> Disables the run
--no-fmt                -> Disables the fmt (go fmt)
--no-server             -> Disables the web panel (port :5000)
--open                  -> Open the web panel in a new browser window

The "fast" command supports addittional arguments as the "add" command.

$ realize fast --no-run yourParams --yourFlags // correct

$ realize fast yourParams --yourFlags --no-run // wrong

$ realize fast --path="/Users/alessio/go/src/github.com/tockins/realize-examples/coin/"
