As of Electron Forge v7.5.0, Vite support for Electron Forge has been marked as experimental in order to reflect its stage in development and to provide maintainers with the ability to release fixes and improvements rapidly.

npx create-electron-app@latest my-new-app --template=vite-typescript

Once you've initialized the template, you'll need to run npm start in the generated directory.

See the documentation for Electron Forge-specific configuration options.
