#### Go CLI for generating, managing, analyzing and diagnosing backend APIs

ForgeKit is a developer CLI written in Go that helps you bootstrap backend REST APIs
without manually creating the same project structure, configuration, database integration,
Docker files, migrations, and tests every time.

It generates production-ready Go REST APIs with a clean hexagonal architecture,
including PostgreSQL integration, Docker Compose, database migrations,
environment configuration, and automatic tests.

Features:

* Project scaffolding with hexagonal architecture
* PostgreSQL + Docker Compose + migrations
* Feature system (forge add/remove): auth, cors, logging, swagger
* Architecture validation (forge doctor, forge check, forge analyze)
* Project inspection (forge inspect)
* Extensible CLI with JSON output and CI modes

## Enable snaps on Manjaro Linux and install ForgeKit

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for *snapd*, select the result, and click Apply.

Alternatively, *snapd* can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo pacman -S snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install ForgeKit

To install ForgeKit, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install forgekit
```
