-Go 1.22 development container based on the openSUSE Tumbleweed Base Container Image.
+## Description
+
+[Go](https://go.dev/) (a.k.a., Golang) is a statically-typed programming language, with syntax loosely derived from C. Go offers additional features such as garbage collection, type safety, certain dynamic-typing capabilities, additional built-in types (for example, variable-length arrays and key-value maps) as well as a large standard library.
+
+## Usage
+
+To compile and deploy an application, copy the sources, fetch dependencies (assuming go.mod is used for dependency management), and build the binary:
+
+```Dockerfile
+# Build the application using the Go 1.22 development Container Image
+FROM registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/bci/golang:1.22 as build
+
+WORKDIR /app
+
+# pre-copy/cache go.mod for pre-downloading dependencies and only redownloading them in subsequent builds if they change
+COPY go.mod go.sum ./
+RUN go mod download && go mod verify
+
+COPY . ./
+
+# Make sure to build the application with CGO disabled.
+# This will force Go to use some Go implementations of code
+# rather than those normally supplied by the host operating system.
+# You need this for scratch images as those supporting libraries
+# are not available.
+RUN CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o /hello
+
+# Bundle the application into a scratch image
+FROM scratch
+
+COPY --from=build /hello /hello
+
+CMD ["/hello"]
+```
+
+Build and run the container image:
+
+```ShellSession
+$ podman build -t my-golang-app .
+$ podman run -it --rm my-golang-app
+```
+
+There are situations when you don't want to run an application inside a container.
+
+To compile the application, without running it inside a container instance, use the following command:
+
+```ShellSession
+$ podman run --rm -v "$PWD":/app:Z -w /app registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/bci/golang:1.22 go build -v
+```
+
+To run the application tests inside a container, use the following command:
+
+```ShellSession
+$ podman run --rm -v "$PWD":/app:Z -w /app registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/bci/golang:1.22 go test -v
+```
+
+**Note:** The Golang image should be used as a build environment. For runtime, self-contained Go binaries should use a `scratch` image and for applications that require external dependencies use the `bci-base` image.
+
+## Additional tools
+
+The following additional tools are included in the image:
+
+- go1.22-race
+- make
