Lineage
CopilotForge follows the engineering pattern of D365Forge (https://github.com/SimonFoote-greensparx/D365Forge), a separate project by the same author for Dynamics 365 delivery, which in turn follows the structure of headcount (https://github.com/cbrock84/headcount) by Chris Brock. All CopilotForge content is original and maintained independently.
