I think Git works perfectly well for 99% of monorepos though. It just doesn’t work for the massive ones. I think its a perfect example of something most codebases shouldn’t follow google on.
- marcyb5st 3y agoMaybe if you only allow for shallow clones/pulls. I am not sold on vanilla git handling monorepo well. If anybody in the company pushes a huge blob you mess up everyone else and so on. Git and some modifications perhaps yes though
