Go straight to the point or get straight to the point?

Is it "to go straight to the point" or "to get straight to the point"?

If both are possible, do they mean the same thing?

If not, when should I use each of them?

Would you please give me a few examples?

Thank you

There was too much historical data at the beginning of my essay. I cut out the unnecessary information and got straight to the point. My essay is much better now.
