4:40 - What is pnpm?

https://pnpm.io/
Performant npm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiTmX2dW84E
Find and remove node modules
- find . -name "node_modules" -type d -prune -exec rm -rf '{}' +

08:30 - Why monorepo?

Internal packages all in one place
Forks and custom packages easier
Commands that control everything at once

10:33 - Workspaces

Not exclusive to pnpm
Yarn, npm, pnpm all have them now
- Different syntax

packages: - "packages/**"

12:48 - How it works in practice

All commands run through root
Use in host, hook up my monorepo to render run commands
Filter and recursive
"install:all": "pnpm recursive install",
"clean": "pnpm recursive exec -- rm -rf node_modules; rm shrinkwrap.yaml; rm -rf node_modules",
"ui:dev": "pnpm recursive run dev --filter @leveluptuts/ui",

16:35 - Using submodules
