Compared to other tools

Lerna

Lerna is build for libraries publisched to npm. Jentil is for applications, no need for multiple package.json, which makes it easier to manage dependancies.

Nrwl

The problem with Nrwl is that you are dependent on what it supports. Jentil is only a set of tools you can use, you are in control of your build setup.

• One example is a custom nextjs with typescript is not supported with nrwl: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/1933

• Also one big confuration is very hard to maintain: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/2643

How to use

And run jentil bootstrap everytime you add a app/library.

Make shoure you add "extends": "../../tsconfig.base.json", to every tsconfig.json.
