Managing Packages

Kabob provides several commands to manage packages in your monorepo:

# Add the package generator template to your project
npx kabob package template

# List all packages in your monorepo
npx kabob package list

# Delete a package from your monorepo
npx kabob package delete <package-name>

Creating New Packages

1. First, add the package generator template to your project:

npx kabob package template

You'll be prompted to choose a package prefix (e.g., @repo, @workspace) that will be used in your package names.

2. Then, create new packages using Turbo's generator:

npx turbo gen run

Follow the prompts to configure your new package.

Package Manager Support

Kabob automatically detects and supports:

• npm
• yarn
• pnpm

Each command is automatically adapted to use the correct syntax for your package manager.

Examples

1. Add a package to all workspaces:

npx kabob add lodash

2. Add a development dependency to a specific workspace:

npx kabob add -D jest --workspace ./packages/my-app

3. Add internal packages interactively:

npx kabob add --internal

4. Clean install in all workspaces:

npx kabob install --clean

5. Remove a package from specific workspaces:

npx kabob remove lodash --workspace ./packages/my-app

6. Update packages to their latest versions:
