forgeThe git hook runner for containerized dev

Run your linters and formatters inside DDEV or Docker — automatically, no wrapper scripts. One Go binary, no Node.js, any project.

Get Started

Backends (DDEV & Docker)

🐳

Runs hooks inside your container

forge auto-detects DDEV and routes tools through the container — phpstan, ecs, and friends run where they actually live. Point any tool at a Docker container instead.

⚡

Single binary, no Node.js

A self-contained Go binary. Drop it on PATH and go — no runtimes, no package.json, no node_modules. Works in PHP, Go, Python, or mixed repos.

🔒

Commit-message policy built in

Enforce Conventional Commits, append ticket footers from the branch name, require ticket IDs — from config, no separate commitlint install.

📦

Monorepo workspace mode

Configure member paths and forge routes each hook to the right workspace member, using that member's own forge.toml.

🔁

Migrate from Husky

One command converts your .git-hooks.config.json to forge.toml. Keep your workflow, drop the Node dependency.

🛠️

TOML config, editor schema

A readable forge.toml with a JSON schema installed for autocompletion. Presets for node, php, php-node, go, and minimal.
