What is the best and right way to open-source packages from a company monorepo?

I have never used this tool but Google open-sourced Copybara[1]. If you look at the commits of their other open-source repositories, it seems this tool is often used.

Thanks, hadn't heard of this one.

Looks a bit heavy though for my liking but maybe they have some good ideas.

Looks like it is more angled at mirroring private to public.

Disclosure: I work at Google, but not on Copybara.

I've seen Copybara used at Google in both directions: for some projects, the internal repo is the authoritative one, and for others, the external repo is authoritative.

Copybara is not prescriptive, you can go in either direction.

Named after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capybara, I guess?
