The browser will automatically open on http://localhost:6419. You can disable this behaviour with the -b=false option.

You can also specify a port:

go-grip -p 80 README.md

or just open a file-tree with all available files in the current directory:

go-grip -r=false

It's also possible to activate the darkmode:

go-grip -d .

To terminate the current server simply press CTRL-C.

• Tests and refactoring
• Make it possible to export the generated html

This tool is a Go-based reimplementation of the original grip, offering the same functionality without relying on GitHub's web API.
