# Monorepo Generator

Monorepos are powerful but setting them up right is tricky. This tool scaffolds a proper Turborepo structure with all the config you need.

**One command. Zero config. Just works.**

## Quick Start

```bash
npx ai-monorepo
```

## What It Does

- Sets up Turborepo in your project
- Creates apps and packages folders
- Configures shared TypeScript and ESLint
- Sets up workspace dependencies

## Usage Examples

```bash
# Set up in current directory
npx ai-monorepo

# Custom target directory
npx ai-monorepo ./my-project
```

## Best Practices

- **Keep packages focused** - single responsibility
- **Use internal packages** - share code without publishing
- **Cache aggressively** - Turborepo's strength is caching
- **Define clear boundaries** - which packages can depend on what

## When to Use This

- Starting a new monorepo project
- Migrating from multiple repos to monorepo
- Adding Turborepo to existing project
- Learning monorepo patterns

npx ai-monorepo --help
```

## How It Works

Scaffolds a complete Turborepo structure with turbo.json, workspace configuration, and shared config packages. Sets up the pipeline for building, testing, and linting across packages.
