Branching in a Monorepo – Mark Juggurnauth-Thomas, Meta
At Meta we work in a giant monorepo with a single main branch. However, some teams need to manage multiple branches of their code. If you branch in a monorepo you branch everything, so how do we reconcile these two very different modes of operation?
