Forge CLI is super slow

Forge Forge Platform and Tools
1

The forge cli is unbelievably slow, every command takes about a minute to execute. It makes it very hard to use.

I don’t know what its doing but I"m assuming its doing some telemetry that my corporate firewall blocks and it ends up waiting for a timeout. It would be really nice to disable any telemetry if possible and if that is not the cause then I’m begging for some updates here to make it more responsive.

Try this: forge settings set usage-analytics false

It ran successfully but there is no change, the performance is very very slow.

This is still a big deal for us, every command could take between 30s to 1.5 minutes, that’s crazy

it connects to external services even for a -h as in the example above so it’s likely it was hanging on one of those.

take a look at the documented list of external services: https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/enterprise/use-forge-cli-on-corporate-network/#allowing-the-forge-cli-to-make-outbound-connections

consider setting a proxy too forge settings set proxy.
