This packages offers a CLI to invoke packages-to-rebuild-on-changes, and calculates which packages in a monorepo need to be built and tested given a changed set of packages.

The changed set of packages can be specified as arguments or from stdin, as paths or by (scoped) package name.

The set of packages to rebuild is calculated as follows:

given set_of_changed_packages,
let downstream = internal_dependers(set_of_changed_packages)
let dependencies = internal_dependencies(downstream)
let packags_to_rebuild = set_of_changed_packages ∪ downstream ∪ dependencies

where ∪ is the union of two sets.

The set of downstream packages (internal dependers) is included to ensure no changed packages has violated a contract that another package is reliant upon.

The set of dependencies is required in order to build.

Note that the dependencies set need only be rebuilt and not re-tested.
