Starting Forge

In order to start Forge, there is a script named forge.bat (or the equivalent Forge for Unix). Run the following script:

forge.bat

This will launch the Forge console, as shown in the following screenshot:

The console accepts a large set of commands, such as commands to navigate and manipulate the filesystems, to create new projects, to operate on the Forge environment and UI generation, and scaffolding commands. It also offers the autocomplete feature.

In order to learn the following available commands in current context, press the Tab key twice:

[bin]$
alias                                   echo
unalias                                 edit
export                                  exit
about                                   git-clone
addon-build-and-install                 grep
addon-install                           less
addon-install-from-git                  ls
addon-list                              man
