| title: Asking Questions | |
| --- | |
| Unlike many projects, the Go project does not use GitHub Issues for general discussion or asking questions. GitHub Issues are used for tracking bugs and [proposals](https://go.dev/s/proposal-process) only. | |
| For asking questions, see: | |
| - [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/go) with questions tagged "go" or "golang" | |
| - [The Go Forum](https://forum.golangbridge.org/), a web-based forum | |
| - [Gophers Discord](https://discord.gg/golang) "Get live support and talk with other gophers on the Go Discord" | |
| - [Gophers Slack](https://gophers.slack.com), use the [invite app](https://invite.slack.golangbridge.org/) for access. The `#general` channel is a good starting point. | |
| - [Go Community on Hashnode](https://hashnode.com/n/go) with questions and posts tagged with "go" | |
| - [The golang-nuts mailing list](https://groups.google.com/d/forum/golang-nuts) | |
| - [Subreddit for Go](https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/) | |
| - **IRC** channel #go-nuts on Libera | |
| If we closed your issue as a question with a link to this wiki, we apologize. Please ask the question on one of the above forums. | |
| Please do not write your question on a wiki page. Please use one of the above forums. | |
| As with any open source project, sometimes you can answer your own question by reading the source, if you know where to start. | |
| The search bar at [cs.opensource.google/go](https://cs.opensource.google/go) can help. |
