go-service

This project provides a clean, modular architecture for creating system services that can run across different platforms. It handles platform-specific service management while maintaining a consistent interface for service operations.

Features

• Clean Architecture: Modular design with platform-agnostic core
• Cross-Platform: Supports Windows, Linux and macOS
• Service Management: Easy installation, status checking and lifecycle management
• No Dependency: No dependency on external libraries
• Build Automation: TaskFile for consistent build and management commands
