monorepo-management

Set up a monorepo by configuring pnpm workspaces in your root package.json, creating apps/ and packages/ directories, then defining build and test tasks in turbo.json. Turborepo caches outputs and optimizes task execution across packages, while pnpm handles unified dependency management and linking between workspace packages.

Both Turborepo and Nx optimize monorepo builds through task caching and parallelization. Turborepo focuses on build performance and incremental CI/CD; Nx provides deeper tooling integration, code generation, and workspace analysis. Choose Turborepo for lightweight optimization or Nx for comprehensive project scaffolding and enforcement.

Yes. Migrate by consolidating repositories into a single root with apps/ and packages/ folders, configuring pnpm workspaces to link shared code, and setting up turbo.json or nx.json to orchestrate builds and tests. The skill guides versioning, dependency resolution, and CI/CD wiring during migration.

Monorepo tools cache build and test outputs, skip unchanged packages, and parallelize tasks across the workspace. Turborepo and Nx track file dependencies to run only affected tasks, reducing redundant builds and cutting CI/CD time significantly in multi-package repositories.

pnpm workspaces handle dependency linking and package management, but Turborepo or Nx add task orchestration, caching, and incremental builds. For simple workspaces, pnpm alone may suffice; for optimized CI/CD and shared library distribution, adding Turborepo or Nx is recommended.

Create internal packages in the packages/ folder and reference them as dependencies in other workspace packages using @repo/package-name. pnpm symlinks these packages locally; Turborepo or Nx ensure tasks run in dependency order and cache outputs, enabling fast iteration and atomic updates across packages.
