Forge is an Emacs package that extends Magit to work with Git forges such as GitHub and GitLab, letting users manage issues and pull requests from within Emacs. It fetches forge data via APIs into a local database and supports partially supported forges like Forgejo, Gitea, and Bitbucket.

Use cases

manage github issues from emacs
review pull requests inside magit
create issues and pull requests without leaving emacs
browse gitlab merge requests in emacs
keep a local database of forge topics for offline access
work with gitea or forgejo repositories from emacs

When to choose

you use Magit and want forge integration inside Emacs
you want to manage issues and pull requests without a browser
you need offline access to repository topics via a local database

When to avoid

you don't use Emacs or Magit
you need a forge not among the supported or semi-supported hosts
you want a standalone GUI for code review
