Initialization

• forge init

Formatting

• forge fmt

Compile

• forge compile

or

• forge build

Deploy

• 1) forge create ./src/SimpleStorage.sol:SimpleStorage --rpc-url RPC_URL --private-key PRIVATE_KEY --broadcast
• 2) Scripting

2A -- firstly, add Script

pragma solidity ^0.8.18;

import {Script} from "forge-std/Script.sol";
import {SimpleStorage} from "../src/SimpleStorage.sol";

contract DeploySimpleStorage is Script{
    function run() external returns(SimpleStorage) {
        vm.startBroadcast();
        SimpleStorage simpleStorage = new SimpleStorage();
        vm.stopBroadcast();
        return simpleStorage;
    }
}

then, run forge script --

• forge script script/DeploSimpleStorage.s.sol --rpc-url RPC_URL --private-key PRIVATE_KEY --broadcast

2B For more Security

• cast wallet import NAME --interactive [use the Main Terminal instead of VSCode Terminal]
• enter the private key one time
• enter a strong password and remember it
• you will get a an ADDRESS which you will need
• Now, forge script script/DeploySimpleStorage.s.sol:DeploySimpleStorage --rpc-url RPC_URL --account NAME --sender ADDRESS --broadcast -vvvv

Interact

• cast send ...
• cast call...
