Why should I care

What is Forge?

Forge is a command line tool that provides tasks for creating F# projects with no dependence on other languages.

What can Forge do for me?

• Creates project using one of the multiple available templates
• Initialize Paket and FAKE
• Create .gitignore file
• Add, remove or order files in your existing fsproj files
• Add or remove framework and project references in your existing fsproj files
• Run Paket and FAKE
• Integration with ProjectScaffold
• "Aliases" giving user ability to define it's own commands. Imagine running forge build, forge test etc... just like in Go, Elixir (with mix) or any other modern language.

But I already use VS, why should I care?

• It's much easier to create new project templates for Forge
• It's cross platform, command line tool - not coupled to any IDE and OS

What is planned for the future?

• Solution (sln files) support
