Forc stands for Fuel Orchestrator. Forc provides a variety of tools and commands for developers working with the Fuel ecosystem, such as scaffolding a new project, formatting, running scripts, deploying contracts, testing contracts, and more. If you're coming from a Rust background, forc is similar to cargo.
The core forc executable is released from the FuelLabs/sway repository. Some network-facing plugins, including forc-client and forc-node, are released independently from FuelLabs/forc. Consequently, a Sway compiler version is not a complete plugin compatibility matrix. Check each installed executable with <command> --version; when its version differs from this book's release, prefer that executable's --help output for exact flags.
If you are new to Forc, see the Forc Project introduction section.
For a comprehensive overview of the Forc CLI commands, see the Commands section.
