⚙️ How It Works

AppForge uses a two-repository architecture.

1️⃣ appforge-cli (Local Tool)

Installed on your machine.

Responsibilities:

• Detect project type
• Configure build
• Package project
• Upload to cloud

---

2️⃣ appforge-build (Cloud Builder)

A repository you fork.

Responsibilities:

• Run GitHub Actions
• Compile the app
• Produce .apk or .zip

---

Why this architecture?

Because:

• You use your own GitHub free build minutes
• No external servers needed
• Full control of builds

---
