# Forge A small local panel for creating project directories with Git initialized. ## Requirements - Node.js 20+ - Git available on `PATH` ## Setup ```bash npm install cp .env.example .env.local ``` Set `PROJECTS_ROOT` in `.env.local` to the directory that should contain your projects. If it is omitted, Forge uses `~/projects`. Start the development server: ```bash npm run dev ``` Open `http://localhost:3000`. ## Verification ```bash npm run build ``` The API only accepts project names and never accepts an arbitrary filesystem path. It rejects names that could escape the configured root or collide with an existing directory.
