## Notes

Turborepo is a build system written in Rust for JavaScript and TypeScript monorepos. It runs the package.json scripts of a repository's packages with caching and parallel execution. The turbo binary runs from a developer's terminal. It is pinned per repository as an npm dev dependency, set up with the create-turbo scaffolder, or installed globally with a shell script.

## Worth knowing

Vercel, the maintainer, provides a managed Remote Cache, which its docs describe as fully compatible with Turborepo. The Remote Cache is a hosted service next to the open source tool.
