Bolt is a JavaScript CLI for managing monorepos (multi-package repositories) built on top of Yarn workspaces. It acts largely as a drop-in replacement for the Yarn CLI, installing dependencies across all workspaces and linking inter-workspace dependencies to source.
Use cases
- manage a javascript monorepo with multiple packages
- install dependencies for all workspaces at once
- link workspace packages to local source for testing
- replace yarn cli in a multi-package repo
- run scripts across many node packages
When to choose
- you have a yarn-based monorepo and want fast workspace-aware installs
- you want inter-workspace dependencies linked to source automatically
When to avoid
- you need a tool with active development - bolt's latest release is mid-2024 and development has slowed
- you prefer modern alternatives like pnpm workspaces or turborepo
- your project is a single package with no workspaces
