+description: Docker documentation redirect URLs
+title: Docker documentation redirect URLs
+published: 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.
