Example Usage

In this example, I’ll show you how to use goose with the Netlify Extension to deploy a web application.

goose Prompt

Can you deploy my app to Netlify via my GitHub repo?

Tool Calls

I'll help you deploy your tic-tac-toe app to Netlify from your GitHub repository. Let me first check your Netlify account and then set up the deployment.

─── netlify-user-services | netlify ──────────────────────────

selectSchema:
    operation: get-user
    params:

Great! I can see you're logged into Netlify with your GitHub account connected. Now let me create a new Netlify site and deploy your tic-tac-toe app from your GitHub repository.

─── netlify-project-services | netlify ──────────────────────────

selectSchema:
    operation: create-new-project
    params:
        name: tic-tac-toe-game

Let me try a different name for the project:

─── netlify-project-services | netlify ──────────────────────────

selectSchema:
    operation: create-new-project
    params:
        name: janedoe-tic-tac-toe

Perfect! I've created a new Netlify site called "janedoe-tic-tac-toe". Now I need to deploy your code from the GitHub repository. Let me deploy the site:

─── netlify-deploy-services | netlify ──────────────────────────

selectSchema:
    operation: deploy-site
    params:
        deployDirectory: /Users/janedoe/Development/tic-tac-toe
        siteId: 1731e49e-1d0a-49a3-ad95-975b550f324a

Let me check the deployment status and get the live URL for your site:

─── netlify-project-services | netlify ──────────────────────────

selectSchema:
    operation: get-project
    params:
        siteId: 1731e49e-1d0a-49a3-ad95-975b550f324a

🎉 Success! Your tic-tac-toe game has been deployed to Netlify!

Deployment Details:

• Live Site URL: http://janedoe-tic-tac-toe.netlify.app
• Netlify Project Dashboard: https://app.netlify.com/projects/janedoe-tic-tac-toe
• Site ID: 1731e49e-1d0a-49a3-ad95-975b550f324a

What was deployed:

✅ HTML: Your main game interface

✅ CSS: Modern styling with animations and responsive design

✅ JavaScript: Complete game logic and interactivity

✅ README: Project documentation

Next Steps:

1. Visit your live site: http://janedoe-tic-tac-toe.netlify.app
2. Test the game: Make sure everything works as expected
3. Share with others: Your game is now live on the web!

Future Updates:

Since your code is deployed from your local directory, if you want to make changes:

1. Update your local files
2. Push changes to your GitHub repository
3. You can either:
   • Redeploy manually using the same command
   • Set up continuous deployment from GitHub (which would auto-deploy when you push changes)

Would you like me to help you set up continuous deployment from your GitHub repository so that future changes are automatically deployed?

Your tic-tac-toe game is now live and ready to play! 🎮
