# ForgeFlux
## A day of the past
[ForgeFlux](https://forgeflux.org/) aims to implement federation in [software forges](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forge_(software)) , enabling
a decentralized development environment.
It's a Friday evening, and you've sat down to work on some code and halfway through
testing the code, you realise that there's a problem with a dependency.
Something's not supposed to work the way it does, and you hop on to the code-hosting
platform, or forge, that you use on a daily basis to search for the library.
Realizing that the project is not quite hosted on your forge, you close your eyes,
before reluctantly heading over to a search engine, to find the project repository
being hosted on another forge that you haven't worked with.
## Why is this significant?
There have been numerous forges that have popped
up over the course of time.
Each of these forges have their own community base,
and projects that are associated to the forge itself.
At this point, in order to file a bug report, or even send a Pull Request that could
fix the issue, you would be required to create an account on the forge and clone the
repository and relearn the workings of the particular forge before finally working
on the code.
Manually tracking notifications, setting up new remotes for the upstreams,
configuring GPG and SSH keys, and having to set up a new development workflow.
However, issues arise when a user wishes to contribute towards
a project that exists in another forge.
This would require them to charter into unknown forge territory,
to have to relearn the functionality that they're already at home with.
The evening prolongs into the night, and you're finally ready with that PR, which
you had to learn a new forge for.
ForgeFlux, is an idea, that intends to get rid this problem.
Work on your own forge, but **bridge** the project.
## A day of the future
Bridging a project would allow for a user to contribute towards projects that
exist in foreign forges, through the comfort of their own forge.
Worrying about the forge-specific operations that you'll need to perform are a thing of
the past now. With the inclusion of a bridging feature in your code-hosting platform,
you can finally forget about how other forges behave and whether you'll need to work
towards creating a new account to contribute.
A contribution, be it a Bug Report, Feature Request, or a Pull Request, now can be
solved through setting up a bridge to the repository you want to contribute to.
## Has this been done before?
Days are pleasant and you can continue working on your code after you're done with the
issue of the library.
You check out and have more time for things that you wanted to work on for the rest of
the day.
The initial [forgefed](https://forgefed.peers.community/) was
an attempt to bridge this gap, by introducing the concept
of bridging the gap between forges.
This approach required for the forge developers to actively
participate in the development of the software.
## Enter ForgeFlux
The present ForgeFlux, focuses on the implementation being present
in the API space instead.
This reduces the interference required on the side of the forges themselves,
and seeks to develop on existing utility and APIs provided.
While the days of the past are what we live in currently, ForgeFlux is the intermediary
that seeks to get developers to the days of the future!
ForgeFlux, consists of a terminology for the development and
utilization of it's software, which result in terms such as `forges`,
and `interfaces` being tossed around.
It is recommended for a reader to go through the [ecosystem-architecture](https://github.com/forgeflux-org/spec/blob/master/rfc/1-ecosystem-architecture/1-ecosystem-architecture.md), if there is any confusion regarding the usage of particular words in this documentation.
Implementing bridging leveraging the API space, [Northstar](@/services/northstar.md)
points, and the [Interface](@/services/interface.md) sets it all up.
Know more about how ForgeFlux works [here!](@/getting-started/how.md)
We're currently still in active development, and you can check what we've been
working on, in the `updates/` section.

# How does it work?
Bridges connect people, and so does ForgeFlux!
## Interface
The bridging component in ForgeFlux is called Interface.
[Interfaces](@/services/interface.md) are programs that run on either
side of the bridge, i.e, a bridge requires the participation of two
interfaces. Currently, Interfaces bridge the following operations:
- Pull Requests
- Issues
- Comments
An Interface implementation for a software forge is able to
talk to the forge's API and speak [ActivityPub
protocol](https://activitypub.rocks/) for server-to-server
communications. This architecture makes it possible to implement an
Interface for any forge setup.
## Northstar
Since Interfaces run external to the forges, a method to find Interfaces
that service forges was required.
[Northstar](@/services/northstar.md) is a discovery service that maps an
Interface and the forge that it services. It acts very similar to DNS,
except instead of querying host names with intent to find corresponding
IP address, Northstar is queried with the forge's host name to discover
the Interfaces that service it.

# How does it work?
Interfaces are services that are run on the side of any user, and are used as connecting points of the bridge.
These interfaces are responsible for communicating with each other, and interact in the form of messages for a server-server model, and a REST API model for the server-user model.
Interfaces are geared towards performing various operations for the repository, which include but are not limited to,
- Pull Requests
- Issues
- Comments
- Notifications
- Forking
However, as the count for interfaces go up in magnitudes, it becomes increasingly hard to keep track of them.
This is where Northstar comes to play, by implementing a lookup server that seeks to provide an indexed list of available forge interfaces.
ForgeFlux is currently in the Active Development phase, and is being worked on towards the alpha-testing stage.
