# Awesome Monorepo Tools

Below is a running list of additional monorepo tools that you may find useful in your turborepo.

💯 = stuff we use or have used in [Turborepo's own monorepo](https://github.com/vercel/turborepo)

## Versioning, Publishing, and Changelog Generation

For the foreseable future, `turbo` is not going to deal with package publishing. Versioning/Publishing is an extremely opinionated topic with a lot of existing solutions. Our advice is to avoid versioning packages altogether unless you actually need to publish them to NPM for external consumption. If you have to version your packages, we really like the workflow of Changesets (especially for open source projects).

- [changesets/changesets](https://github.com/changesets/changesets) - 🦋 A way to manage your versioning and changelogs with a focus on monorepos
- [microsoft/beachball](https://github.com/microsoft/beachball) - The Sunniest Semantic Version Bumper
- [lerna/lerna](https://github.com/lerna/lerna) - A tool for managing JavaScript projects with multiple packages.
- [lerna/lerna-changelog](https://github.com/lerna/lerna-changelog) - PR-based changelog generator with monorepo support
- [intuit/auto](https://github.com/intuit/auto) - Generate releases based on semantic version labels on pull requests.

## Codebase Linting

- [typicode/husky](https://github.com/typicode/husky) - Modern native Git hooks made easy!

- [danger/danger-js](https://github.com/danger/danger-js) - ⚠️ Stop saying "you forgot to …" in code review

## Codemods and Code Generation

We are planning to officially add code generation to `turbo` sometime in the future. In the meantime, we suggest using [plopjs/plop](https://github.com/plopjs/plop).

- [sapegin/mrm](https://github.com/sapegin/mrm) - Codemods for your project config files 💯

- [swagger-api/swagger-codegen](swagger-api/swagger-codegen) - swagger-codegen contains a template-driven engine to generate documentation, API clients and server stubs in different languages by parsing your OpenAPI / Swagger definition.

## Infrastructure as Code

One of the cool things we discovered when building Turborepo is how beautifully it works with infrastructure-as-code solutions. We currently use Pulumi, but the AWS CDK is also pretty cool.

- [pulumi/pulumi](https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi) - Modern Infrastructure as Code. Any cloud, any language 💯
- [aws/aws-cdk](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk) - The AWS Cloud Development Kit is a framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code
