Linker

A script for developing packages locally using yarn when working with polyrepos

currently only works for linux machines

Example Repo includes the below configuration.

• Projects A and B are apps (with react-dom)
• Projects C and D are libraries (no react-dom)

---

• project-a is the main host app

• project-b is linked to the host app, and has two symlinks inside its node_modules looking at libraries project-c and project-d

• project-c is a library that imports library project-d

• project-d is listed as a symlink in both project-b and project-c, but has no symlinks itself (null). This typically indicates that project-d is just a library

---

• Changes in project-d will be reflected in both library project-c and app project-b in watch/dev mode

---
