+# OpenTelemetry instrumentation for go-redis
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go get github.com/go-redis/redis/extra/redisotel/v8
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Tracing is enabled by adding a hook:
+
+```go
+import (
+    "github.com/go-redis/redis/v8"
+    "github.com/go-redis/redis/extra/redisotel"
+)
+
+rdb := rdb.NewClient(&rdb.Options{...})
+
+rdb.AddHook(redisotel.NewTracingHook())
+```
+
+See [example](example) and [documentation](https://redis.uptrace.dev/tracing/) for more details.
