Also known as go links, golinks, go/links, or go-links.\n\n![go links](http://golinks.io/d/images/golinks-logo-horizontal-gray.png?ref=github-image)\n\n## What is a Go Link?\n\nA go link is a short keyword that can be entered directly into your browser’s address bar to quickly access company resources. Also known as a golink, go-link, or go/link, it enables large tech companies like Google, Linkedin, Twitter, Square, and many [other companies in Silicon Valley](https://medium.com/@golinks/silicon-valleys-biggest-secret-the-golink-7b42d93bc8c4), to quickly manage and find all of their important links.\n\n\n## How do Go Links work?\n\n[Go links](https://www.golinks.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-go-links/?utm_source=github\u0026utm_medium=readme\u0026utm_campaign=title) work by storing 2 key pieces of information: a URL and a keyword. The two items are associated in a redirect engine and allow for quick access to URLs in the browser. A user simply needs to enter a keyword after the go/ prefix such as go/meet, and they will be redirected to the associated URL.\n\n## How to install Go Links\n\nThere are a few technical implementations that can get go links to work.\n\n\n### Install go links with a Local Host file\n\n\n##### install.sh\n  ```\n  sudo /bin/bash -c \"$(curl -fsSLd GET https://golinks.io/d/golinks/install.sh)\"\n  ```\n\n  1. Copy and paste the script above into terminal\n  2. Click [http://go/links?trackSource=install](http://go/links?trackSource=install) to test installation.\n\n      - If you're prompted to \"Create an Account\", then installation was successful.\n  3. Enter your company email that you plan to share links with.\n\n      - Golinks will be shared between you and your coworkers, so be sure to use your company email to access shared resources.\n  4. [Click here to create your first go/link](http://go/?action=create\u0026create-name=new\u0026create-url=https://docs.google.com/document/create?title={*}\u0026create-description=Create%20a%20new%20doc%20with%20a%20title,%20just%20type%20in%20go/new/My%20Notes)\n\n### Install Company-Wide Go links:\n\nGo links are most useful when shared with a company network. You can install go links for an entire company network using an internal DNS. Whenever anyone on the network or on the company VPN accesses http://go/links it will resolve for them as well.\n\n1. Open your internal DNS Settings\n    - Windows server: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/technologies/ipam/add-a-dns-resource-record\n2. Navigate to \"add a record\":\n3. Add an A Record.\n4. Fill in the inputs:\n    - Name: go\n    - IP: 52.72.13.96\n5. Visit [http://go/links?trackSource=install](http://go/links?trackSource=install) to test installation.\n    - If you're prompted to \"Create an Account\", then installation was successful\n6. [Click here to create the golink \"go/new\"](http://go/?action=create\u0026create-name=new\u0026create-url=https://docs.google.com/document/create?title={*}\u0026create-description=Create%20a%20new%20doc%20with%20a%20title,%20just%20type%20in%20go/new/My%20Notes)\n\n### Debugging\nThese are common issues you may run into when installing.\n\n#### I received a sad browser error page\n![Sad golinks browser error](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoLinks/golinks/golinks/error.png)\n```\nThis site can’t be reached\ngo’s server IP address could not be found.\nDNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN\nERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED\n```\nIf you run into this error, you'll need to reinstall golinks. Run the above command again to reinstall golinks.\n\n### Frequently Asked Questions\n\nSome of the most commonly asked questions with golinks.\n\n#### How do you use Go Links?\n\n\u003e Once golinks is installed, simply type into your browser “go/” followed by a keyword. For example, if you’ve already created go/meet to point to a Google Doc about a new hire, simply type in go/meet into the address bar, or navigate to http://go/meet\n\n#### How do I create a Go Link?\n\u003e Once you’ve installed go links on your computer, simply navigate to http://go/ and then navigate the UI to create a golink.\n\n#### How do you make a Go Link?\n\u003e Navigate to http://go/ and then click on the “Create Golink” button. Enter in the URL, the name, and any other information that will be helpful for those using the golink.\n\n#### What is a GO URL?\n\u003e A go URL is also a reference to a golink. Sometimes go links are also referred to as go URLs. The two terms can be used interchangeably.\n\n#### What happened to Google’s URL shortener?\n\u003e Google’s URL shortening service known as g.co or goo.gl, is no longer available to the public. The project was deprecated on March 30, 2019.\n\n\u003e If you were using g.co to manage your companies links, you can easily transition to using go-links.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FGoLinks%2Fgolinks","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FGoLinks%2Fgolinks","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FGoLinks%2Fgolinks/lists"}
