Yarn Bunches

Use git to combine multiple repos into a single monorepo.

Motivation

Organizations have a lot of repos and teams. Sometimes one monorepo isn't enough. Sometimes you need bunches.

Yarn Bunches are a solution for teams looking to stay in sync with "release channels" but also work within a singular monorepo setup.

Installation

yarn plugins import [release url]

Commands

━━━ Workspace-related commands ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  yarn locate <Workspace Name>
    shows workspace path
    
━━━ Bunch-related commands ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  yarn bunch add <name>
    Depend on a bunch

  yarn bunch init
    init bunch

  yarn bunch remove <name>
    remove a bunch

  yarn bunches [--json]
    list the active bunches

  yarn bunches clean [--full]
    clean the active bunches

  yarn bunches sync [--json]
    sync the active bunches

Bunch Spec

A bunch name can be a github repo, a git url, or a local path followed by #commit-or-branch

Configuration

or how the defaults need to be decided

Workspace

  1. add a new entry to your workspace array: ".bunches/*/packages/*"

Assets, Other languages, Dockerfiles

  1. create a package.json that is within your workspaces config
  2. run yarn install
  3. use the .bunches symlink in the package.json directory

"Release Channels"

It doesn't really seem feasible to maintain individually versioned packages with this approach.

The simplest use cases would be to target one of:

  • branches that contain packages that all keep their version number in sync
  • branches that contain packages that are PR'd in periodically
  • branches that contain unique git "cherrypicks"
