I really like the idea of monolithic repos but can see some downsides when there is more than one person working on a project. It would be cool if there was a simplified way to have an entire business operate under source control.
- tobib 7y agoThis interests me. Can you elaborate on what downsides you see? Even in a small team we're often working within the same repo at the same time without any issues.
- AimForTheBushes 7y agoThe glaring issue would be permissions ie who can see what. Pull requests could get muddied up but that probably wouldn't be too much of a problem to overcome. Some foundational git protocols would have to be adjusted, like .gitignore. I think it's a great way for start up to manage the business but as more people get hired the organizational complexity might be too much to bear.

Every commit to a branch triggers a set of declarative deployment pipelines, simple. IIRC buzzword is "GitOps" if you want to find out more.
