Forge User Manual

Chapter 1

Getting Started

FREEAvailable

Sign in, create a project, pair devices, and start building.

What it is

Forge is a project-focused environment for Desktop, Mobile, and CLI with Cloud sync and Forge Bot.

A Forge Project is not the same as a Git repository — GitHub is optional.

When to use it

You are setting up Forge for the first time, or opening an existing folder as a Forge project.

How to use it

Sign in to Forge.

Create or open a project with forge init.

Optionally connect GitHub.

Pair Desktop and Mobile for sync.

Start editing, running Preview, and using Forge Bot.

Important notes / limitations

Existing projects: forge init attaches identity only — files and Git stay untouched.

Mobile never runs local npm scaffolds; new projects materialize via Desktop / Cloud.
