+# Basic Delve Debugging Session
+
+When using [delve](https://github.com/go-delve/delve) to debug a Go program,
+these are the series of things I usually find myself doing.
+
+First, I start running the program with `dlv` including any arguments after a `--` (in my case, the `solve` subcommand and a filename).
+
+```bash
+$ dlv debug . -- solve samples/001.txt
+```
+
+`dlv` starts up and is ready to run my program from the beginning. I'll need to
+set a couple breakpoints before continuing. I do this with the `break` command,
+specifying the filename and line number.
+
+```
+(dlv) break main.go:528
+Breakpoint 1 set at 0x10c1a5bea for main.traversePuzzleIterative() ./main.go:528
+(dlv) break main.go:599
+Breakpoint 2 set at 0x10c1a6dcc for main.traversePuzzleIterative() ./main.go:599 
+```
+
+Now I can continue which will run the program until hitting a breakpoint.
+
+```
+(dlv) continue
+> [Breakpoint 2] main.traversePuzzleIterative() ./main.go:599 (hits goroutine(1):1 total:1) (PC: 0x10c1a6dcc)
+   594:                                 }
+   595:                         }
+   596:
+   597:                         topStackFrame := stack[len(stack)-1]
+   598:                         // if the current stack frame has more values, try the next
+=> 599:                         if len(topStackFrame.PossibleValues) > 0 {
+   600:                                 nextValue := topStackFrame.PossibleValues[0]
+   601:                                 topStackFrame.PossibleValues = topStackFrame.PossibleValues[1:]
+   602:                                 topStackFrame.CurrValue = nextValue
+   603:
+   604:                                 // Undo the last placement and make a new one
+```
+
+I can see the context around the line we've stopped on. From here I can dig
+into the current state of the program by looking at local variables (`locals`)
+or printing out a specific value (`print someVar`). I can continue to step
+through the program line by line with `next` or eventually run `continue` to
+proceed to the next breakpoint.
+
+```
