## electron-forge
A "complete tool for building modern Electron applications". Electron Forge
unifies the existing (and well maintained) build tools for Electron development
into a cohesive package so that anyone can jump right in to Electron
development.
Electron Forge is a tool for packaging and publishing Electron applications. It unifies Electron's tooling ecosystem
into a single extensible interface so that anyone can jump right into making Electron apps.
Forge comes with [a ready-to-use template](https://electronforge.io/templates) using Webpack as a bundler. It includes an example typescript configuration and provides two configuration files to enable easy customization. It uses the same core modules used by the
greater Electron community (like [`electron-packager`](https://github.com/electron/electron-packager))
