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.
