MonoRepo

A big home for small repos

monorepo groups multiple (sub)repos into one big repo and supports bidirectional sync (push and pull).

Setup

1. Start with a new (empty) repo to be your monorepo
2. Add a monorepo.yml (see _examples/simple)
3. Run monorepo pull
   • This will pull the files from the subrepos
   • Creaate monorepo.lock with the specific SHAs pulled in
4. Commit the monorepo (e.g: git commit -am "Initial pull")

CI

You can use a CI system like Travis to automate syncing between your monorepo and sub repos.

1. Setup each subrepo to pull in new updates:

git clone https://github.com/org/bigrepo
cd bigrepo
monorepo pull
git add .
git commit -am "Update"
git push

2. Setup monorepo to dispatch changes

cd bigrepo
monorepo push
