FAQ

Q: How do I configure forge.nvim?

Configure via vim.g.forge before the plugin loads. All fields are optional:

vim.g.forge = {
  sources = { gitlab = { hosts = { 'gitlab.mycompany.com' } } },
  display = { icons = { open = '', merged = '', closed = '' } },
}

Q: How do I install with lazy.nvim?

{
  'barrettruth/forge.nvim',
  dependencies = { 'ibhagwan/fzf-lua' },
}

Q: How do I create a PR?

<c-g> to open the picker, select Pull Requests, then ctrl-a to compose. Or from a fugitive buffer: cpr (compose), cpd (draft), cpf (instant from commits), cpw (push and open web).

Q: Does review mode require diffs.nvim?

Yes. Without diffs.nvim, diff actions 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 entries. The first match wins, and the CLI must be in $PATH.
