Why Forgevena?
Modern engineering teams repeatedly solve the same setup, governance, integration, and release problems. Forgevena turns those practices into an additive and auditable developer platform without replacing application code or silently transmitting project data.
Features
- Enterprise bootstrap: React, Next.js, FastAPI, Express, Python, Flutter, AI agent, RAG, full-stack AI, microservices, library, CLI, blank, and enterprise templates.
- Existing-project safety: preview-first initialization that skips every existing file and protects application directories.
- Governed integrations: OpenSpec, SkillOpt, gstack, design.md, claude-mem, GitNexus, Understand Anything, MCP servers, and declarative plugins.
- Provider controls: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama, Codex, Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf profiles with secret-reference-only tracked configuration.
- Cloud preparation: Render, Railway, Vercel, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud preflight plans, validation, dry runs, health checks, and rollback guidance.
- Release engineering: signed-tag automation for changelog notes, GitHub Releases, npm, GitHub Packages, GHCR, Docker Hub, checksums, SBOMs, provenance, and package-manager bundles.
- Certified reliability: checksummed state, transaction recovery, encrypted vault migration, 32-writer concurrency, 1,000 corruption cases, mutation testing, and enforced performance budgets.
- Cross-platform: Windows 11, WSL2/Linux, and macOS on x64 and arm64 through npm with Node.js 20.19 or newer; standalone v1.3.0 executables target x64.
Quick Start
npm install --global forgevena@1.3.0
forgevena doctor
forgevena create DemoApi --template fastapi --dry-run --verbose
forgevena create DemoApi --template fastapi --apply
cd DemoApi
forgevena validateRelease downloads include smoke-tested Windows, Linux, and macOS x64 executables, checksums, SBOMs, provenance, verification evidence, and package-manager bundles on the GitHub Releases page. Verify native files against RELEASESHA256SUMS; npm users can verify the stable version with npm view forgevena version.
Install from Homebrew
The maintained Forgevena Homebrew tap installs the verified native executable on Linux and Intel macOS:
brew install rohitkumarnaidu/forgevena/forgevena
forgevena version
forgevena doctorThe current tap supports x64 release assets. Use npm on arm64 until native arm64 assets are published. Winget and Chocolatey public submissions are independently moderated; see the installation guide for their current status.
