About this course

SiteSmith Forge is git hosting inside SiteSmith Workspace. This course is for developers and site owners who want to keep their code in Forge and work on it as a team.

You'll create repositories and organizations, clone and push over HTTPS with access tokens, edit files in the browser, track work with issues, and review and merge pull requests. Then you'll protect your main branch, run tests with Actions workflows and deploy a site to your SiteSmith hosting.

It helps to have used git a little, but every command you need is shown.
