About the Project

This project marks my first step into Atlassian Forge development — a simple "Hello World" app built for Jira.

🚀 What Inspired Me

As someone who enjoys learning new technologies, I was genuinely curious about how apps are built and deployed within platforms like Jira. I had never worked with Atlassian Forge before, and I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and explore something completely new. This project was less about the output and more about the process — understanding how things work behind the scenes and building the confidence to experiment with new tools.

🧠 What I Learned

• The fundamentals of the Atlassian Forge platform
• How to set up a Forge app using the CLI
• Deploying apps to a Jira development environment
• Understanding how Forge handles authentication, permissions, and UI components

🔧 How I Built It

1. Installed the Forge CLI and set up my development environment.
2. Created a Forge app using the forge create command.
3. Used the custom-ui template to display a basic "Hello World" message.
4. Deployed the app and installed it in my Jira development site using forge deploy and forge install.

⚠️ Challenges I Faced

• Understanding the permission scopes required to interact with Jira.
• Errors caused by missing or misconfigured manifest.yml settings.
• Getting familiar with Forge-specific terminology and deployment flow.
