It answers the conundrum of choosing between a mono repo or many repos by saying \"both\", with a meta repo! meta is powered by plugins that wrap common commands, letting you execute them against some or all of the repos in your solution at once. meta is built on loop, and as such inherits loops ability to easily target a particular set of directories for executing a common command (eg meta git status --include-only dir1,dir2 . See loop for more available options). meta is packaged with a few of these core plugins by default: https://github.com/mateodelnorte/meta/blob/master/package.json#L63-L66 Why meta? - clone a many-project architecture in one line - give every engineer on your team the same project setup, regardless of where it's cloned - npm / yarn install against all your projects at once - execute arbitrary commands against many repos to manage your projects - super simple plugin architecture using commander.js - easily wrap commands for working with any platform, not just Node! - meta repo keeps code in per project repos, benefiting deployment and reuse - use the same tools you always use. no strange side effects of git submodules or subtree - give different teams different slices of your architecture, with multiple metarepos! - use meta project migrate to migrate mono-repos to a meta repo consisting of many repos getting started installing npm i -g meta will install a meta command on your system. in","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/mateodelnorte","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/mateodelnorte/meta/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
