Creating a new block on Typebot is pretty easy and straightforward using our in-house framework [The Forge](../the-forge/overview).
<Note>
If you are considering merging this new block to the official Typebot
repository, make sure to open a [Github
issue](https://github.com/baptisteArno/typebot.io/issues/new) first. This will
allow us to discuss the specficiation and the best way to implement it.
</Note>
1. [Install the project locally](./local-installation)
2. Create a new branch:
```sh
git checkout -b MY_BRANCH_NAME
```
3. Create your new block using the [Forge CLI](../the-forge/overview#forge-cli):
```sh
pnpm run create-new-block
```
4. The files should be generated in `packages/forge/blocks/YOUR_BLOCK_NAME`
5. Add the block SVG logo in `packages/forge/blocks/YOUR_BLOCK_NAME/logo.tsx`
6. Right away you should be able to [run the application](./local-installation#running-the-project-locally) and see your newly created logo in the sidebar of the editor.
7. Create a new action in the `packages/forge/blocks/YOUR_BLOCK_NAME/actions` folder. See [Action](../the-forge/action) for more information.
8. List this action in the `actions` array in `packages/forge/blocks/YOUR_BLOCK_NAME/index.tsx`
9. To go further, check out the [Forge documentation](../the-forge/overview).
Make sure to check out other blocks implementations in the [packages/forge/blocks](https://github.com/baptisteArno/typebot.io/tree/main/packages/forge/blocks) folder.
