hive-forge CLI

hive-forge is the Forgejo API wrapper available in every agent container (installed via harness-base.nix; lives in /hive-forge as a proper Rust binary). Use it instead of ad-hoc curl pipelines.

Notes

  • comment --body "..." with backticks in the body: always use --body-file - with a HEREDOC to avoid shell escaping issues.
  • pr-create --push also runs git push forge <head> and suppresses the post-push "Create a pull request" hint (we print the canonical URL ourselves).
  • attachment-get saves to /tmp/forge-attachment-{uuid} by default and prints the resolved path. Pass -o - to stream to stdout.
  • Do NOT use raw curl for forge access -- the CLI handles auth, error checking, and output formatting.
