What would you want from a forge?
A Lobsters user posted an open-ended question asking developers what they would want from a forge, specifically targeting users of Jujutsu and other version control systems, but also welcoming pure Git workflows not covered by major forges. The author emphasizes features related to version control presentation and repository behavior, rather than frontend technologies like SPA vs server-rendered HTML. They note that while ideas like Tangled, GitHub's stacked PRs, and ForgeFed exist, there is little discussion on the design of presenting tags, commits, trees, and blobs, which remain largely uniform across forges with only minor formatting differences. The post invites opinions on alternative collaboration models and the design of these core elements, aiming to fill a gap in public discourse.
This discussion could shape future forge features for better developer workflows.
