What are some effective repository structures for projects?

Effective repository structures often depend on the project's size and complexity. For example, monorepos are great for large projects with multiple packages, while single-repo structures work well for smaller projects.

Can you give me a case study of a successful monorepo?

Sure! Google uses a monorepo for most of its projects, allowing for code sharing and easier dependency management across teams.

What are the pros and cons of using a monorepo?

Pros include simplified dependency management and easier collaboration. Cons can be longer build times and complexity in managing large codebases.

How do I decide between a monorepo and multiple repos?

Consider factors like team size, project complexity, and how often components need to interact. If components are tightly coupled, a monorepo might be better.

Are there any tools that can help manage repository structures?

Yes, tools like Lerna for JavaScript projects and Bazel for build automation can help manage monorepos effectively.
