3 Getting Started

Getting started using Forge should be fairly easy provide you take the time to read the documentation. First see (ghub)Getting Started from Ghub’s manual. Ghub is the library that Forge uses to communicate with forge APIs. While Ghub can be used independently of Forge, its "Getting Started" part was written with Forge users in mind.

Please begin reading in (ghub)Getting Started and then come back here and make sure to read the subsections.

Loading Magit doesn’t cause Forge to be loaded automatically. Adding something like this to your init file takes care of this:

(with-eval-after-load 'magit
  (require 'forge))

Or if you use use-package:

(use-package forge
  :after magit)
