Monorepoize – Bash scripts for creating a monorepo out of smaller repos

I don't really agree. Rather than stuffing all your code into one envelope and then building tooling to decipher it, why not build tooling that allows commit log and versioning information for an arbitrary amount of repositories? Why does code have to live side-by-side to manage metadata about it?

That works too. I think you could arrive at the ideal setup from either direction: a monorepo with appropriate boundaries or multi-repos with an “umbrella” versioning layer for all of them. The end result is more or less the same.

I guess I think one of those scenarios comes with all of the benefits but very few of the drawbacks than the other. But you're right, you can skin a cat however you want.
