[forge-dev] put git repository in hackable location

[Paul Bakker]

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.
