How do we feel about adding https://github.com/spray/sbt-revolver to the giter8 template? I can add a PR if it's okay.

Advantages:

  • Automatic reloading without any effort

Disadvantages:

  • Yet another dependency to a template

It's not that much of an hassle to add sbt-revolver manually, but I think there is merit in having it included.

I haven't used it in a while, but we used to advertise it, and I always liked it. I'm not sure why I got out of the habit.

Dunno how I missed it, but sbt revolver is already available: https://github.com/http4s/http4s-io.g8/blob/0.23/src/main/g8/project/plugins.sbt#L2

The README doesn't mention it, so imo, would be cool to see the command reStart in there too. I can add a PR if wanted, but, does that mean I have to edit the README in all the relevant branches? (0.23/1.0, scala(3))
