A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

On GitHub, how do you refactor pieces of your code from multiple repos? Do you create a library repo?
Would it make sense to instead switch to a monorepo? Merging repost from different apps into a single one and then extract the lib.

Building /warpcast and /farcaster

Monorepo is ok. Depending on the language/runtime. If for example you're using deno then you can import github files directly. If using node then you can install github repositories as if they were npm packages. Go uses github repositories for packages

Using git submodules is the worst option ime

Right - both routes are doable. Monorepos can require a bit more work on the CI, deployiment side. Split repos can add more overhead in managing versions and moving things around.

I think my approach will be, start with monorepo and then move parts out into separate repo if it makes sense. I'm too used to monorepos.

Just tried it out on railway.app with a Dockerfile on project subdir within a monorepo. It was quite straightforward.
