Forge – Work with Git forges from the comfort of Magit

Is "forge" a well known term in this context? What does it mean exactly? A web based git host that adds collaboration features like issues and pull requests? Seems like that from the context but I've not seen the term before.

I know this is off-topic, but: a resource I really wish existed is "how to build Emacs UI like Magit".

I hear good things about magit, does anyone have any good learning resources for someone who is relatively new to emacs?

I have been using it happily, but I have an issue where I have a fork on github, but I can't get the forge to point at upstream instead of my fork, it changes to the other github as soon as I set pus Default if I remember correctly. Is there any way to do this?
