## About

Splitting up large code bases into separate independently versioned packages is
extremely useful for code sharing. However, making changes across many
repositories is _messy_ and difficult to track, and testing across repositories
gets complicated really fast.

To solve these (and many other) problems, some projects will organize their code
bases into multi-package repositories (sometimes called
[monorepos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monorepo))

**Melos is a tool that optimizes the workflow around managing multi-package
repositories with git and Pub.**

## What does a Melos workspace look like?

A default file structure looks something like this:

```
my-melos-repo/
melos.yaml
packages/
package-1/
pubspec.yaml
package-2/
pubspec.yaml
```

The location of your packages can be configured via the `melos.yaml`
configuration file if the default is unsuitable.

## What can Melos do?

- 🔗 Link local packages in your workspace together without adding dependency
overrides.
- 📦 Automatically version, create changelogs and publish your packages using
[Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/).
- 📜 Pre-define advanced custom scripts for your workspace in your `melos.yaml`
configuration to use via `melos run [scriptName]`. Anyone contributing to your
workspace can just run `melos run` to be prompted to select a script from a
list with descriptions of each script.
- Scripts can even
[prompt to select a package](https://melos.invertase.dev/~melos-latest/configuration/scripts#packagefilters)
to run against with pre-defined filters.
- ⚡ Execute commands across your packages easily with
`melos exec -- ` with additional concurrency and fail-fast
options.
- [Environment variables](https://melos.invertase.dev/environment-variables)
containing various information about the current package and the workspace
are available in each execution.
- Can be combined with all package filters.
- 🎯 Many advanced package filtering options allowing you to target specific
packages or groups of packages in your workspace.
- `--no-private`
- Exclude private packages (`publish_to: none`).
- `--[no-]published`
- Filter packages where the current local package version exists on pub.dev.
Or "-no-published" to filter packages that have not had their current
version published yet.
- `--[no-]nullsafety`
- Filter packages where the current local version uses a "nullsafety"
prerelease preid. Or "-no-nullsafety" to filter packages where their
current version does not have a "nullsafety" preid.
- `--[no-]flutter`
- Filter packages where the package depends on the Flutter SDK. Or
"-no-flutter" to filter packages that do not depend on the Flutter SDK.
- `--scope=`
- Include only packages with names matching the given glob.
- `--ignore=`
- Exclude packages with names matching the given glob.
- `--diff=`
- Only include packages that have been changed since the specified `ref`,
e.g. a commit sha or git tag.
- `--dir-exists=`
- Include only packages where a specific directory exists inside the
package.
- `--file-exists=`
- Include only packages where a specific file exists in the package.
- `--depends-on=`
- Include only packages that depend on a specific package.
- `--no-depends-on=`
- Include only packages that _don't_ depend on a specific package.
- ♨️ Advanced support for IntelliJ IDEs with automatic creation of
[run configurations for workspace defined scripts and more](https://melos.invertase.dev/~melos-latest/ide-support)
on workspace bootstrap.
- Integration with VS Code through an [extension][melos-code].

## Commands

Full commands list and args can be viewed by running `melos --help`.

```
> melos --help

A CLI tool for managing Dart & Flutter projects with multiple packages.

Usage: melos [arguments]

Global options:
-h, --help Print this usage information.
--verbose Enable verbose logging.
--sdk-path Path to the Dart/Flutter SDK that should be used. This command line option has precedence over the `sdkPath` option in the `melos.yaml` configuration file and the `MELOS_SDK_PATH` environment variable. To use the system-wide SDK, provide the special value "auto".

Available commands:
bootstrap Initialize the workspace, link local packages together and install remaining package dependencies. Supports all package filtering options.
clean Clean this workspace and all packages. This deletes the temporary pub & ide files such as ".packages" & ".flutter-plugins". Supports all package filtering options.
exec Execute an arbitrary command in each package. Supports all package filtering options.
list List local packages in various output formats. Supports all package filtering options.
publish Publish any unpublished packages or package versions in your repository to pub.dev. Dry run is on by default.
run Run a script by name defined in the workspace melos.yaml config file.
version Automatically version and generate changelogs based on the Conventional Commits specification. Supports all package filtering options.

Run "melos help " for more information about a command.
