🛠 Development Setup

1. Fork the repo on GitHub.

2. Clone your fork:

   git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/anvil-pdf.git
   cd anvil-pdf

3. Add upstream (for syncing with original repo):

   git remote add upstream https://github.com/iiitk-tools/anvil-pdf.git

4. Keep your fork updated:

   git pull upstream main

5. Hot Reload with Air

   • We use Air for live reloading during development.

   Install Air

   go install github.com/air-verse/air@latest

   Ensure $GOPATH/bin or $HOME/go/bin is in your $PATH.

   Initialize Air

   air init

   This generates .air.toml.

6. Run with Hot Reload

   air -- --port 8081

   Whenever you modify Go files, Air rebuilds & restarts automatically.
