Go HTTP GET Request Example - Fetch and Display Status Code

This example demonstrates a simple HTTP GET request in Go.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "net/http"
)

func main() {
    url := "https://ruan.dev"
    resp, err := http.Get(url)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error while fetching the URL:", err)
        return
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()
    fmt.Println(resp.StatusCode)
}

This code fetches the URL and prints the status code. Error handling is included to manage potential issues during the request.
