+# Forge
+
+Forge is a focus-first desktop GitHub client for working through repositories, pull requests, issues, workflows, and review state from a dense three-pane workspace.
+
+The app is built with Electron, React, TypeScript, and Vite. It stays local-only: GitHub API access is handled by the Electron main process, and the GitHub token is not exposed to the renderer.
+
+## Features
+
+- Repository navigation with search, favorites, and local monitoring.
+- Project focus views for pull requests, workflow runs, issues, and workflows.
+- Pull request details with title editing, labels, review actions, readiness, auto-merge, comments, markdown, and GitHub URL actions.
+- Workflow and job views for inspecting GitHub Actions state.
+- Keyboard-friendly navigation with persistent three-pane context.
+- Light, dark, and system themes with accent colors and optional glass sidebar appearance.
+
+## Development
+
+Install dependencies:
+
+```sh
+npm install
+```
+
+Run the Electron app in development:
+
+```sh
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Build the app:
+
+```sh
+make build
+```
+
+Run tests:
+
+```sh
+make test
+```
+
+Run the changelog gate:
+
+```sh
+make verify-changelog
+```
+
+Create an unsigned macOS arm64 package:
+
+```sh
+make package-mac-arm64 version=X.Y.Z
+```
+
+## License
