This document discusses monorepos, which are repositories that contain the code for multiple projects. Some benefits of monorepos include simplified dependency management, easier code sharing between projects, and having a single place to manage issues. Potential downsides include that the codebase can appear more intimidating and larger repositories may face performance issues. Several monorepo solutions are mentioned, including Buck, Bazel, Pants, and Lerna, each suited for different languages and project sizes. Lerna terminology and an introductory example are also covered.
