What problem does it solve?

Integrate third-party repository history into the monorepo by adding git remotes and creating workspaces that point at upstream branches, enabling coordinated development and patch testing across the main repo and dependencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Add a remote for the upstream project to bring in history without duplicating work.
• Fetch and expose upstream commits inside the monorepo, then create a workspace that tracks a remote branch for integrated testing and local modifications.
• Support workflows for testing patches, maintaining forks with upstream tracking, and developing features that span both the monorepo and a dependency.

Quick Start

Begin by adding a remote for the upstream repository, fetch its history, and then create a workspace that points to the remote branch to start grafting history into your monorepo.
