[luarocks](https://luarocks.org/modules/barrettruth/forge.nvim):
```
luarocks install forge.nvim
```
## Documentation
```vim

```
## FAQ
**Q: How do I configure forge.nvim?**
Configure via `vim.g.forge` before the plugin loads. All fields are optional:
```lua
vim.g.forge = {
sources = { gitlab = { hosts = { 'gitlab.mycompany.com' } } },
display = { icons = { open = '', merged = '', closed = '' } },
}
```

### [mini.deps](https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.deps) **Q: How do I create a PR?**
```lua `<c-g>` to open the picker, select Pull Requests, then `ctrl-a` to compose. Or
MiniDeps.add({ from a fugitive buffer: `cpr` (compose), `cpd` (draft), `cpf` (instant from
source = 'barrettruth/forge.nvim', commits), `cpw` (push and open web).
depends = { 'ibhagwan/fzf-lua' },
})
```
### [luarocks](https://luarocks.org/modules/barrettruth/forge.nvim) **Q: Does review mode require diffs.nvim?**
``` Yes. Without [diffs.nvim](https://github.com/barrettruth/diffs.nvim), diff
luarocks install forge.nvim actions and review toggling are unavailable.
```
### Manual **Q: How does forge detection work?**
```sh forge.nvim reads the `origin` remote URL and matches against known hosts and any
git clone https://github.com/barrettruth/forge.nvim \ custom `sources.<name>.hosts` entries. The first match wins, and the CLI must be
~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/plugins/start/forge.nvim in `$PATH`.
```
## Usage
forge.nvim works through two entry points: the `:Forge` command and the `<c-g>`
picker.
`:Forge` with no arguments (or `<c-g>`) opens the top-level picker — PRs,
issues, CI, commits, branches, worktrees, and browse actions. Each sub-picker
has contextual keybinds shown in the fzf header.
PR creation opens a compose buffer (markdown) pre-filled from commit messages
and repo templates. First line is the title, everything after the blank line is
the body. Draft, reviewers, and base branch are set in the HTML comment block
below. Write (`:w`) to push and create.
## Configuration
Configure via `vim.g.forge`. All fields are optional — defaults shown below.
```lua
vim.g.forge = {
ci = { lines = 10000 },
sources = {},
keys = {
picker = '<c-g>',
next_qf = ']q', prev_qf = '[q',
next_loc = ']l', prev_loc = '[l',
review_toggle = 's',
terminal_open = 'gx',
fugitive = {
create = 'cpr', create_draft = 'cpd',
create_fill = 'cpf', create_web = 'cpw',
},
},
picker_keys = {
pr = {
checkout = 'default', diff = 'ctrl-d', worktree = 'ctrl-w',
checks = 'ctrl-t', browse = 'ctrl-x', manage = 'ctrl-e',
create = 'ctrl-a', toggle = 'ctrl-o', refresh = 'ctrl-r',
},
issue = { browse = 'default', close_reopen = 'ctrl-s', toggle = 'ctrl-o', refresh = 'ctrl-r' },
checks = { log = 'default', browse = 'ctrl-x', failed = 'ctrl-f', passed = 'ctrl-p', running = 'ctrl-n', all = 'ctrl-a' },
ci = { log = 'default', browse = 'ctrl-x', refresh = 'ctrl-r' },
commits = { checkout = 'default', diff = 'ctrl-d', browse = 'ctrl-x', yank = 'ctrl-y' },
branches = { diff = 'ctrl-d', browse = 'ctrl-x' },
},
display = {
icons = { open = '+', merged = 'm', closed = 'x', pass = '*', fail = 'x', pending = '~', skip = '-', unknown = '?' },
widths = { title = 45, author = 15, name = 35, branch = 25 },
limits = { pulls = 100, issues = 100, runs = 30 },
},
}
```
Set `keys = false` to disable all keymaps. Set `picker_keys = false` to disable
all picker keybinds. Set any individual key to `false` to disable it.
### Examples
Disable quickfix/loclist keymaps:
```lua
vim.g.forge = {
keys = { next_qf = false, prev_qf = false, next_loc = false, prev_loc = false },
}
```
Nerd font icons:
```lua
vim.g.forge = {
display = {
icons = { open = '', merged = '', closed = '', pass = '', fail = '', pending = '', skip = '', unknown = '' },
},
}
```
Self-hosted GitLab:
```lua
vim.g.forge = {
sources = { gitlab = { hosts = { 'gitlab.mycompany.com' } } },
}
```
Override PR picker bindings:
```lua
vim.g.forge = {
picker_keys = { pr = { checkout = 'ctrl-o', diff = 'default' } },
}
```

## Custom Sources
Register a custom forge source for self-hosted or alternative platforms:
```lua
require('forge').register('mygitea', require('my_gitea_source'))
```
Route remotes to your source by host:
```lua
vim.g.forge = {
sources = { mygitea = { hosts = { 'gitea.internal.dev' } } },
}
```
A source is a table implementing the `forge.Forge` interface. Required fields:
`name` (string), `cli` (string, checked via `executable()`), `kinds`
(`{ issue, pr }`), and `labels` (`{ issue, pr, pr_one, pr_full, ci }`).
Required methods (all receive `self`): `list_pr_json_cmd`,
`list_issue_json_cmd`, `pr_json_fields`, `issue_json_fields`, `view_web`,
`browse`, `browse_root`, `browse_branch`, `browse_commit`, `checkout_cmd`,
`yank_branch`, `yank_commit`, `fetch_pr`, `pr_base_cmd`, `pr_for_branch_cmd`,
`checks_cmd`, `check_log_cmd`, `check_tail_cmd`, `list_runs_json_cmd`,
`list_runs_cmd`, `normalize_run`, `run_log_cmd`, `run_tail_cmd`, `merge_cmd`,
`approve_cmd`, `repo_info`, `pr_state`, `close_cmd`, `reopen_cmd`,
`close_issue_cmd`, `reopen_issue_cmd`, `draft_toggle_cmd`, `create_pr_cmd`,
`create_pr_web_cmd`, `default_branch_cmd`, `template_paths`.
See `lua/forge/github.lua`, `lua/forge/gitlab.lua`, or `lua/forge/codeberg.lua`
for complete implementations. The `forge.Forge` class definition with full type
annotations is in `lua/forge/init.lua`.
### Skeleton
```lua
local M = {
name = 'mygitea',
cli = 'tea',
kinds = { issue = 'issues', pr = 'pulls' },
labels = { issue = 'Issues', pr = 'PRs', pr_one = 'PR', pr_full = 'Pull Requests', ci = 'CI/CD' },
}
function M:list_pr_json_cmd(state)
return { 'tea', 'pr', 'list', '--state', state, '--output', 'json' }
end
function M:pr_json_fields()
return { number = 'number', title = 'title', branch = 'head', state = 'state', author = 'poster', created_at = 'created_at' }
end
return M
```
## Health
Run `:checkhealth forge` to verify your setup. Checks for `git`, forge CLIs
(`gh`, `glab`, `tea`), required plugins (`fzf-lua`), optional plugins
(`diffs.nvim`, `vim-fugitive`), and any registered custom sources.
## FAQ
**Q: How do I create a PR?** `<c-g>` -> Pull Requests -> `ctrl-a` to compose. Or
from fugitive: `cpr` (compose), `cpd` (draft), `cpf` (instant), `cpw` (web).
**Q: Does review mode require diffs.nvim?** Yes. Without
[diffs.nvim](https://github.com/barrettruth/diffs.nvim), the diff action and
review toggling are unavailable.
**Q: How does forge detection work?** forge.nvim reads the `origin` remote URL
and matches against known hosts and any custom `sources.<name>.hosts`. The first
match wins, and the CLI must be in `$PATH`.
**Q: Can I use this with self-hosted GitLab/Gitea?** Yes. Add your host to
`vim.g.forge.sources`. See the [examples](#examples).
**Q: What does `ctrl-o` do in pickers?** Cycles the state filter: open -> closed
-> all -> open.
**Q: How do I merge/approve/close a PR?** `ctrl-e` on a PR in the picker opens
the manage picker. Available actions depend on your repository permissions.
**Q: Does this work without a forge remote?** Partially. Commits, branches, and
worktrees work in any git repo. PRs, issues, CI, and browse require a detected
forge.
