What it is
Forge: AI-Enhanced Terminal Development Environment. It is described as an integrated coding agent that works with your development environment and supports multiple AI providers and models.
How it works
Forge operates in three modes:
- Interactive Mode (TUI): Start with
forgeto enter a persistent session. - One-Shot CLI Mode: Run a single prompt with
forge -p(orforge --prompt). - ZSH Plugin Mode: Use the
:prefix after installing withforge setup. It includes command patterns for starting sessions, resuming conversations, and sending prompts. It also includes Git integration via prompts to generate commit messages and perform actions within the shell.
The README provides multiple usage examples showing how prompts are sent to agents and how outputs are integrated into the development workflow.
Getting started
Quickstart commands from README:
curl -fsSL https://forgecode.dev/cli | sh
Then configure providers either interactively:
forge provider login
Or start Forge directly:
forge
