Electron Forge Overview
Electron Forge is a free, open-source tool for building, packaging, and publishing applications made with Electron, maintained by the Electron community. Electron lets developers build cross-platform desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux using web technologies, and Electron Forge handles the surrounding workflow so teams do not have to wire together build tooling themselves. It is an all-in-one command-line tool, installed through the Node.js package manager, that scaffolds a new project from templates, runs the app in development, and packages it into distributable installers and archives for each platform. A plugin and maker system lets you customize the build pipeline, produce formats such as Windows installers, macOS disk images, and Linux packages, and publish releases to targets like GitHub. Because it consolidates packaging, code signing, and publishing into one configuration, it is a popular choice for shipping Electron apps. This page links to the official Electron Forge resources.
