Technical Specification: Hero Forge System

Overview

The Hero Forge system consists of two main components:

  1. A command-line interface (CLI) tool: heroforge
  2. A server component with minimal UI capabilities: heroforge_server

Components

Command Line Tools

  • heroforge: Primary CLI command (talking over openrpc to server), all needed to replace git and more
  • heroforge_server: Server management CLI command

Server Functionality

  • Launches a minimal user interface
  • Provides GitHub-like repository browsing functionality
    • Displays repository files
    • Allows file navigation
    • Includes syntax highlighting for files
  • Implements OpenRPC protocol for communication
  • Only works for 1 repo (fossil compatible)

Requirements

  • The server must maintain connection to a single repository
  • The UI should resemble basic GitHub functionality for repository browsing
  • The system must support manual synchronization between servers
  • CLI tools must be able to manage the server through OpenRPC

Interface Specifications

  • heroforge: Command-line interface that communicates with server via OpenRPC
  • heroforge_server: Command-line interface for server operations and management

UI

  • boostrap5
  • htmx
  • dark mode
  • all cdn
  • compiled templates

Constraints

  • Server UI must remain minimal in scope and functionality
  • Initial implementation focuses on single-repository support

heroforge-server --repo /tmp/demo.forge

make also a tool to quickly generate a demo repo, or pull one from internet from something existing, so its easy to test

there is something wrong how we show the results, its not showing the endresult

test with

cd /tmp
fossil clone https://fossil-scm.org/home demo.fossil

don't forget to rename .forge

so we have /tmp/demo.forge
