What Happens When "Run The Project" Really Means Several Repos?
If you’ve been following along and want to support us, we’d really appreciate a GitHub star:
A lot of setup pain does not come from one repo.
It comes from the space between repos.
The frontend needs the backend.
One service depends on another local repo.
The docs assume a sibling project exists.
One repo has to be cloned before another can run.
The setup order matters, but almost nobody encodes it clearly.
Ota supports workspace contracts for this kind of setup, so each repo can keep its own readiness contract while still being coordinated as part of a larger workspace.
The goal is not one giant config file.
It is clear repo ownership with a truthful way to prepare the whole workspace.
Have you worked on a project where the real challenge was not one repo, but the order, dependencies, and hidden assumptions between several repos?
