What is Monorepo?
A single code repository that contains multiple related projects or packages.
Why It Matters
Monorepos make it easier to share code between projects and ensure consistent dependencies across your organisation.
Real-World Example
Keeping your web app, mobile app, and shared component library in one repository managed by Turborepo.
“Understanding terms like Monorepo matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
