Daily Term: Polyrepo

Polyrepo

A Polyrepo approach uses separate repositories for each project or component, allowing independent versioning and deployment. For example, a microservices architecture might have one repo per service to enable isolated development. Polyrepos offer flexibility and smaller repo sizes, making builds faster, but they complicate cross-repo changes and dependency management, often requiring tools like Git submodules or package managers.
