SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo provides dependency-aware task orchestration, caching, and cross-package workflow management to speed up builds, tests, and CI in large monorepos.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-aware task orchestration and per-package task configuration with turbo.json
  • Powerful caching (local and remote) to avoid re-running unchanged tasks across packages
  • Flexible filter and --affected workflows to run targeted changes in CI and development
  • Best practices for monorepo structure, root vs package configs, and CI optimization

Quick Start

Create a root turbo.json and per-package turbo.json files, then run turbo run build to bootstrap and verify your setup.

FAQPage Schema
How do I speed up builds and tests in a JavaScript monorepo?▼

You can speed up monorepo builds by orchestrating tasks with dependency graphs and deterministic caching to avoid re-running unchanged tasks. This significantly accelerates both local development and CI pipelines.

How do I configure per-package tasks in a monorepo?▼

You configure per-package tasks by creating a root turbo.json and optional per-package turbo.json files. This setup defines inputs, outputs, environment variables, and separates root vs package task configurations.

What is dependency-aware task orchestration for multi-package repositories?▼

Dependency-aware task orchestration for multi-package repositories executes tasks based on mapped dependency graphs. It ensures builds, tests, and CI workflows run efficiently in the correct order across interconnected apps and packages.

Can I run targeted tasks for only affected packages in CI?▼

Yes, you can run targeted tasks for affected packages in CI using flexible filter and --affected workflows. This executes tasks solely on packages impacted by recent changes, optimizing continuous integration pipelines.

Does Turborepo support remote caching for CI optimization?▼

Yes, Turborepo supports powerful local and remote caching to avoid re-running unchanged tasks. Remote caching shares build outputs across CI runs and development machines, maximizing CI optimization.
