[![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/honeybadger-io/honeybadger-go.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/honeybadger-io/honeybadger-go)

Hi there! You’ve found Honeybadger’s guide to **Go error tracking**. Once installed, Honeybadger will automatically report errors from your Go application.

## How you should read the docs

* If you’re installing Honeybadger in an application that uses Go’s **net/http** package, check out the **[HTTP integration guide](https://docs.honeybadger.io/lib/go/integrations/http/)**.
* For all other Go applications, start with the **[General integration guide](https://docs.honeybadger.io/lib/go/integrations/other/)**.
* The **How-to guides** (in the left-hand navigation menu) are general guides on how to do things with the library, and should apply to all types of applications.
* There is additional reference material in the **Package reference** section.

## Sample application

If you’d like to see the library in action before you integrate it with your apps, check out our [sample application](https://github.com/honeybadger-io/crywolf-go).

You can deploy the sample app to your Heroku account by clicking this button:

[![Deploy](https://www.herokucdn.com/deploy/button.png)](https://heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/honeybadger-io/crywolf-go)

Don’t forget to destroy the Heroku app after you’re done so that you aren’t charged for usage.

## Getting support

If you’re having trouble working with the package (such as you aren’t receiving error reports when you should be):

1. Upgrade to the latest package version if possible (you can find a list of changes in the [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/honeybadger-io/honeybadger-go/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md))
2. If you believe you’ve found a bug, [submit an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/honeybadger-io/honeybadger-go/issues/)
