In a version control system, a Monorepo is a version control management strategy in which all your code is contained in one potentially large but complete repository.  The monorepo is in stark contrast to an alternative approach in which software teams independently manage microservices or deliver software as libraries to be imported in other projects.  The monorepo strategy has been followed by noteworthy companies such as Google, Facebook, and Microsoft.

Derrick Stolee is a software engineer working at GitHub.  He joins us today to talk about strategies for monorepos and innovations to the way git works in order to better support this style of the repository.
