I am excited to introduce Forge, an open-source AI pair programmer designed to work right from the terminal. You can connect it to any backend of your choice or use our provider (free for now).
I have been working hard at it and would love to get some feedback about the product.
Why did I build Forge? The main reason was that I personally keep AI disabled on my IDE because it interferes with my train of thought. Current IDEs are powerful but too jarring for my taste. I hate the ridiculous animated way of applying diffs and prefer the AI to operate in the background in a separate git worktree.
CLI is also powerful because I don't need to create every single tool as an MCP; I can directly install the binary and let the agent run.
Recommended Workflow with Forge: Anyone who wishes to try Forge, should install it via NPM, create an account on https://antinomy.ai/app and then start the Forge interactive session by typing `forge` on the terminal. I then use the `/plan` command to switch to the plan mode and use it to iterate on a plan. Once ready, I switch to `/act` mode and tag that plan using sending a `@<TAB>` key on the terminal, then let it do its job. I would also recommend using git worktrees, so that while Forge is doing work, I am not waiting for it to finish and I can do something else.
Hope you like what I have made and would love to get feedback here: https://github.com/antinomyhq/forge/issues
Thank you all!
