meta-repo

This is a toolkit to easily manage a meta repository that includes multiple related JavaScript modules. It is written in Rust (and blazing fast. 🚀🚀🚀).

Terminology

• Meta Repository: A repository that contains multiple related repositories.
• Package: A JavaScript module that is publishing a library.
• Application: A JavaScript module that is part of the meta repository and can be started.

Features

• Run npm install on multiple repositories.
• Link local dependencies automatically.
• Run npm start via a single command to start all applications and packages.

Commands
