## Project history and usage

Gebug is a command-line developer tool for debugging Dockerized Go applications. Its README describes debugger and hot-reload workflows driven by generated Dockerfile, Docker Compose, and project configuration files.

### Project history

The public GitHub repository was created in July 2020. The README presents Gebug as a Go application debugging environment for containers, with commands to initialize, start, clean, destroy, and manage a web UI for a project.

### Adoption history

The official installation instructions support Homebrew on Linux and macOS and `go install` on Go-supported platforms. The README also documents an upgrade path from v1.x to v2.0, which suggests existing users had generated project configuration that needed regeneration.

### How it is used

Practitioners run `gebug init` inside a Go application, edit generated files under `.gebug` when needed, and run `gebug start` or `gebug ui` to work with hot reload, Delve debugging, exposed ports, environment variables, and Docker networking.

### Why package nerds care

For package users, Gebug is interesting as a Go CLI that packages a repeatable local container-debugging stack. It turns a set of Docker, Compose, Delve, and rebuild conventions into a command users can install through Homebrew or Go tooling.

### Timeline

- 2020: Public GitHub repository created.
- 2020s: README documents Homebrew and Go installation paths.
- 2026: README documents v2.0 upgrade notes, including newer Go, runtime image, web UI, and Docker image defaults.

### Related projects

- Gebug is closely related to Go, Docker, Docker Compose, Delve, and hot-reload tooling for containerized development.
