meta is a Node.js CLI tool that manages multi-project systems by combining many git repositories into a single 'meta repo', letting you run commands like git status or npm install across some or all child repos at once. It uses a simple commander.js-based plugin architecture and avoids the quirks of git submodules or subtrees.

Use cases

• clone a multi-project architecture in one command
• run git commands across many repos at once
• npm or yarn install all projects in one go
• give every engineer the same project setup after cloning
• migrate a monorepo into many repos with meta project migrate
• give different teams different slices of the architecture via multiple metarepos

When to choose

• your codebase spans many separate git repos that you want to manage together
• you want monorepo-like convenience without abandoning per-project repos
• you need to run the same command across a subset of directories/repos
• you want to avoid git submodules and subtree complexity

When to avoid

• you have a single repository and no multi-repo needs
• you need atomic cross-repo commits or PRs that monorepo tooling provides
• your team already standardized on git submodules or a monorepo tool like Nx or Bazel
