micro run

The micro run command manages the lifecycle of a microservice. It fetches the source, builds a binary and executes it. It's a simple tool which can be used for local development. If no arguments are specified micro run operates as a service which can manage other services.

Note: The default runtime (Go) requires the Go binary in PATH and GOPATH to be set.
