This repository is Google's official collection of sample programs written in the Go programming language that show how to use Google Cloud Platform services. Go (also called Golang) is a programming language developed by Google and widely used for building backend services and command-line tools. The samples cover a range of Google Cloud products. Some of them have accompanying written guides on the Google Cloud documentation site, and the full catalog can be browsed at the Google Cloud Samples page filtered by the Go language. The README itself is brief and does not list the specific services covered, but the repository is maintained by the Google Cloud Platform organization and is linked from official documentation. The intended audience is Go developers who want concrete, working code showing how to connect their programs to Google Cloud APIs. The README is explicit on one important point: you should copy any code you need from this repo into your own project rather than importing it as a library dependency. The reason is that the samples can change at any time without warning and are not designed to be stable packages that other programs rely on. Contributions are accepted. New sample requests can be opened as GitHub issues, and bug fixes can be submitted as pull requests. A separate CONTRIBUTING.md file in the repository contains the detailed guidelines. The code is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license, which permits free use, modification, and redistribution in both personal and commercial projects.
