Quick Start

You've installed indiegoon. Now let's wire everything up.

💡

The goon CLI is built into your project. After npm install, all goon commands work locally without any global install.

The Fast Way (One Command)

If you have your API keys ready, run:

goon init \
  --app-name "My SaaS" \
  --app-url "http://localhost:3000" \
  --db-url "postgresql://user:pass@host/db" \
  --payment-provider stripe \
  --stripe-key "sk_test_..." \
  --email-provider resend \
  --resend-key "re_..."

This configures everything non-interactively. Done.

The Interactive Way (Step by Step)

Prefer to be guided? Run each setup command:

Step 1: Configure Your App

goon setup app

Sets your app name, URL, description, and support email. These appear in your marketing site, emails, and metadata.

Step 2: Set Up Authentication

goon setup auth

Generates a cryptographic secret and configures your auth URL. Optionally sets up Google OAuth right here.

Step 3: Connect Your Database

goon setup db

Paste your PostgreSQL connection string. The CLI validates it and configures Drizzle ORM.

Then push the schema:

npm run db:push

Step 4: Configure Payments

goon setup payments

Pick your provider (Stripe, Polar, LemonSqueezy, or DodoPayments). The CLI validates your API keys live and configures webhooks.

Step 5: Configure Email

goon setup email

Pick your provider (Resend, Postmark, SendGrid, Mailgun, or SMTP). The CLI validates your credentials and sets the from address.

Step 6: Start Building

npm run dev

Your SaaS is running. Visit:

• •http://localhost:3000 - Marketing site
• •http://localhost:3000/sign-up - Create an account
• •http://localhost:3000/dashboard - Authenticated dashboard
• •http://localhost:3000/billing - Subscription management

Optional: Add Features

Optional: Apply a Theme

Don't like the default look? Apply a pre-built theme:

goon setup theme

Choose from 10 themes - from minimal zinc to bold neo-brutalist.
