NAME

forge-create - Deploy a smart contract.

SYNOPSIS

forge create [options] contract

DESCRIPTION

Deploy a smart contract.

The path to the contract is in the format <path>:<contract>, e.g. src/Contract.sol:Contract.

You can specify constructor arguments with --constructor-args. Alternatively, you can specify a file containing space-separated constructor arguments with --constructor-args-path.

Dynamic linking is not supported: you should predeploy your libraries and manually specify their addresses (see --libraries).

ℹ️ Note

The --constructor-args flag must be positioned last in the command, since it takes multiple values.
