+# Task: Add Golang Support
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-14
+**Version:** 2026.01.14
+
+## Objective
+
+Add Golang image variant support to copilot_here, including both standalone Golang and compound .NET + Golang variants.
+
+## Solution Approach
+
+Following the established pattern for Rust support, added Golang as a new standalone image variant with CLI flag `--golang` (`-go`).
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### Docker Images
+
+- [x] Created `/docker/variants/Dockerfile.golang`
+  - Based on copilot_here base image
+  - Installs Go 1.25.5
+  - Configures GOPATH and PATH
+  - Makes workspace writable for all users
+
+### CLI Binary (Native .NET AOT)
+
+- [x] Updated `/app/Program.cs`
+  - Added `-go` short flag
+  - Added PowerShell-style alias: `-Golang`
+
+- [x] Updated `/app/Commands/Run/RunCommand.cs`
+  - Added `_golangOption` field
+  - Added option initialization with description
+  - Added option to root command
+  - Added parse result handling
+  - Added image tag selection logic
+
+- [x] Updated `/app/Commands/Images/ListImages.cs`
+  - Added `golang` to available tags list
+
+### CI/CD Workflow
+
+- [x] Updated `/.github/workflows/publish.yml`
+  - Added `golang` to build-variants matrix
+  - Added image to build summary output
+
+### Documentation
+
+- [x] Updated `/README.md`
+  - Added Golang flags to image variants section
+  - Added Golang to image comparison table
+  - Added usage guidelines for Go development
+
+- [x] Updated `/docs/docker-images.md`
+  - Added Golang image documentation
+  - Added .NET + Golang compound image documentation
+  - Updated build dependency chain diagram
+  - Added version tag documentation
+
+### Version Updates
+
+- [x] Updated all version numbers to `2026.01.14`:
+  - `copilot_here.sh` (line 2 and line 8)
+  - `copilot_here.ps1` (line 2 and line 26)
+  - `Directory.Build.props` (line 4)
+  - `app/Infrastructure/BuildInfo.cs` (line 13)
+
+## Testing Performed
+
+- [x] CLI compilation: `dotnet build app/CopilotHere.csproj` - SUCCESS
+- [x] Unit tests: `dotnet test` - ALL 294 TESTS PASSED
+- [x] Version consistency verified across all files
+
+## Docker Image Details
+
+### Golang Image
+**Tag:** `ghcr.io/gordonbeeming/copilot_here:golang`
+
+**Contents:**
+- Base copilot_here image (Node.js 20, Git, etc.)
+- Go 1.25.5 toolchain
+- Build tools (build-essential, pkg-config)
+- Configured GOPATH at `/usr/local/go-workspace`
+
+**Use Case:** Go development and projects
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+```bash
+# Use Golang image
+copilot_here --golang
+copilot_here -go
+
+# Set as default image
+copilot_here --set-image golang
+```
+
+## Build Dependency Chain
+
+```
+Base Image
+├── Golang Image
+├── Rust Image
+├── .NET Image
+│   ├── Playwright Image
+│   └── .NET + Rust Image
+└── (other variants)
+```
+
+## Follow-up Items
+
+None - implementation complete.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Followed existing Rust pattern for consistency
+- All existing tests pass without modification
+- No breaking changes to existing functionality
+- Image builds will happen automatically on next CI/CD run
