turbo

turbo command [--filter pattern] [options]

Turborepo is a high-performance build system for JavaScript and TypeScript monorepos. It executes tasks like build, test, and lint across multiple packages while respecting inter-package dependencies and maintaining topological order automatically.The tool uses content-aware hashing to cache task outputs, skipping work when inputs haven't changed. This caching works locally and can be shared across a team via remote caching, so developers don't rebuild what others have already built. The --filter flag targets specific packages for focused development.Configuration is defined in turbo.json at the repository root, specifying task dependencies and caching behavior. The --graph flag visualizes the dependency structure, and prune creates minimal subsets of the monorepo for efficient deployment.

run TASKS

Run specified tasks across packages.

Create pruned subset of monorepo for a target package.

Filter packages by name, directory, or git changes.

Run only in packages changed since the base branch.

Continue on error (never, dependencies-successful, always).

Output dependency graph (svg, html, mermaid, dot).

Bypass cache and re-execute all tasks.

Display tasks without executing.

Set filesystem cache directory.

Limit parallel task execution (number or percentage).

Requires turbo.json config. Monorepo setup needed. The --parallel and --scope flags are deprecated; use --filter and task configuration instead.

Turborepo was created by Jared Palmer and acquired by Vercel in 2021. It focuses on making monorepo development fast.
