Can’t get Forge to work on my Mac?

So I’ve been trying to get Forge working on my mac for days so I can start creating mods, but nothing has worked.

I downloaded the Forge 1.7.10 recommended build (src) from the website and extracted it. I opened up a new Terminal window, redirected it to the forge folder using “cd”, and typed in “bash gradlew setupDecompWorkspace”. The terminal does all its work, but when its finished, I check the forge folder and the eclipse folder is empty. I have tried numerous commands, like "./gradlew" with/without the bash, and "gradlew eclipse”, but nothing puts any files into the eclipse folder. When I open eclipse and point it to that blank folder, the program is of course blank, and I cannot mod.

I have tried copying files from the eclipse folder on an older windows machine, but when I ran eclipse I get an error saying that a .project file is missing.

I just want to be able to create mods on my mac.

Thank you to anyone who is willing to help
