Docker documentation redirect URLs	Docker documentation redirect URLs	false

This page is used to reserve the "/go/" URL/path for redirecting purposes. This page is not published, and should not be visible on the documentation website.

Use the /go/ URL prefix to provide "vanity" URLs linking to the documentation. These URLs can be used in (for example) the docker CLI to provide a short, permanent link to refer to a topic in the documentation.

Having a fixed /go/ URL allows you to redirect the URL to the most current location in the documentation for a given topic, which may evolve over time.

For example, the docker CLI can output https://docs.docker.com/go/some-topic in its help output, which can be redirected to elsewhere in the documentation, using the redirect_from metadata field in the target page.
