This is a starting point for Go solutions to the "Build Your Own Redis" Challenge.

In this challenge, you'll build a toy Redis clone that's capable of handling basic commands like PING, SET and GET. Along the way we'll learn about event loops, the Redis protocol and more.

Note: If you're viewing this repo on GitHub, head over to codecrafters.io to signup for early access.

1. Ensure you have go (1.13) installed locally
2. Run ./spawn_redis_server.sh to run your Redis server, which is implemented in app/server.go.
3. Commit your changes and run git push origin master to submit your solution to CodeCrafters. Test output will be streamed to your terminal.

CodeCrafters runs tests when you do a git push. Make an empty commit and push your solution to see the first stage fail.

git commit --allow-empty -m "Running tests"
git push origin master

You should see a failure message that says it wasn't able to connect to port 6379.

Go to app/server.go and uncomment the server implementation. Commit and push your changes, and you'll now see the first stage pass.

Time to move on to the next stage!
