Monorepos

Note

Draft placeholder — outline notes only; prose not yet written.

Points this section needs to cover:

  • Monorepo trade-offs versus many-repo setups (with submodules as the many-repo glue — cross-reference Ch 5, Git Toolkit)

  • Putting the chapter together: partial clone + sparse checkout + Scalar
    background maintenance as the standard monorepo client setup

  • Repository layout and ownership practices

  • Real-world deployments (e.g. Microsoft Office/Windows on Scalar)

  • Forge support constraints and server-side considerations
