Are you suggesting that there’s a solution to managing large amounts of code that doesn’t involve large amounts of tooling?

- hobls 8y agoThere’s an important distinction between lots of code and lots of projects. I agree; if you have a ton of code you’d better invest in tooling. But if you just have several normally sized projects, a monorepo can make your life much more difficult than simply using several repos.
- rco8786 8y agoSure. You could also replace the term “monorepo” with “separate repos” and your statement would be just as valid. Either way you go has pros and cons.
- hobls 8y agoAgreed. I think the thing is that GitHub basically supports the separate repo approach fairly well out of the box. Using only a single repo requires more thought around your strategy, especially if you have multiple teams.
