# Build section is used during aah application run and build command.

  #   - `git commit sha`
  # Not available

  # If application misses any dependencies in `build import path`
  # during compile and build, aah CLI will try to get the missing
  # dependencies using 'go get <package>'.
  #
  # Default value is `true` since v0.11.0
  #dep_get = true

  # `-i` may not be required for go1.10 and above, however no impact.

  # Packing excludes is used to exclude file/directory during aah application
  # build archive.

Section: hot_reload { … }

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Hot-Reload helps developer for rapid development.
# Read more about implementation here - https://aahframework.org/issues/4
#
# NOTE: Do not use hot-reload for production purposes, it is not recommended.
# Use app binary reload capability - `kill -HUP <process-id>` instead.

  # Adding custom mount points.
