## What it is
Melos is a CLI tool for managing Dart and Flutter monorepos containing multiple packages. It automates versioning, changelog generation, and publishing via Conventional Commits, and supports local package linking, cross-package command execution, and IDE integration.

## Use cases
- manage a dart monorepo with multiple packages
- automatically version packages from conventional commits
- generate changelogs and publish packages to pub.dev
- run commands across all packages in a workspace
- link local packages for development in a flutter monorepo
- automate releases in CI/CD for dart packages

## When to choose
- you maintain a Dart/Flutter repository with many independently versioned packages
- you want automated versioning, changelogs, and pub.dev publishing driven by Conventional Commits
- you need to run scripts and tests across multiple packages from one workspace

## When to avoid
- you have a single-package Dart or Flutter project
- your monorepo is not Dart-based (e.g., JavaScript, Rust)
- you prefer Dart's built-in pub workspaces without extra tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cli, build-tool, package-manager, ci-cd, version-control, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, cross-platform
