A Tour of Go is an introduction to the Go programming language. Visit https://tour.golang.org to start the tour.

and then visit http://localhost:8080/ in your browser.

This repository uses Gerrit for code changes. To learn how to submit changes to this repository, see https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html.

The main issue tracker for the tour is located at https://github.com/golang/go/issues. Prefix your issue with "tour:" in the subject line, so it is easy to find.

Deploying

1. To deploy tour.golang.org, run:

   GO111MODULE=on gcloud --project=golang-org app deploy --no-promote app.yaml
   

   This will create a new version, which can be viewed within the golang-org GCP project.

2. Check that the deployed version looks OK (click the version link in GCP).

3. If all is well, click "Migrate Traffic" to move 100% of the tour.golang.org traffic to the new version.

4. You're done.
