I think it's better to not put editable source code in .forge. With upgrades of API's etc. it's sometimes necessary to throw away the .forge dir. I like the idea though, so maybe we can ask the user: "where do you want to save the plugin project?" on plugin installation which by default saves in .forge/plugins so that we don't mess up the user's file system. <br>

As I've been demoing forge, I've been pitching that one of the most elegant aspects of the git-plugin command is that it automatically sets you up with source code to hack on. After experimenting with a plugin tonight, I realized that while the final artifact gets put in ~/.forge/plugins, the repository is hidden away in a cryptic directory in my temporary folder. I think behavior should be changed to make it more welcoming for developers to contribute back.<div>
<br></div><div>I propose one of the following two locations, though feel free to choose a more flexible option:</div><div><br></div><div>~/.forge/plugin-repos</div><div>~/forge/plugins</div><div><br></div><div>...or read an option from .forge/config. Perhaps prompt the user where to stick the source even.</div>
