Running Applications
When you run, debug, or test your code, GoLand creates a temporary run/debug configuration. This configuration includes all the details of how you want to perform the operation. Usually, a temporary configuration is enough to run or debug your code. You can use the temporary configuration to run your application one time, or save it for future use.
Depending on your purposes, you can edit existing or create new configurations. For more information about editing you configurations, see Create and Edit Run/Debug Configurations.
