# Monorepo Management

Build efficient, scalable monorepos that enable code sharing, consistent tooling, and atomic changes across multiple packages and applications.

## When to Use This Skill

- Setting up new monorepo projects
- Migrating from multi-repo to monorepo
- Optimizing build and test performance
- Managing shared dependencies
- Implementing code sharing strategies
- Setting up CI/CD for monorepos
- Versioning and publishing packages
- Debugging monorepo-specific issues

## Core Concepts

### 1. Why Monorepos?

**Advantages:**

- Shared code and dependencies
- Atomic commits across projects
- Consistent tooling and standards
- Easier refactoring
- Simplified dependency management
- Better code visibility

**Challenges:**

- Build performance at scale
- CI/CD complexity
- Access control
- Large Git repository

### 2. Monorepo Tools

**Package Managers:**

- pnpm workspaces (recommended)
- npm workspaces
- Yarn workspaces

**Build Systems:**

- Turborepo (recommended for most)
- Nx (feature-rich, complex)
- Lerna (older, maintenance mode)
