1. turbo

   You can have it in the same repo. Just don't do any weird stuff where you are importing backend into frontend or something like that. But the best way would be to set up a Monorepo, that way you could have shared packages and the tools manages the dependencies. There a few build tools you can choose to help with this. Turborepo and NX are the most popular. But honestly these are complex to configure yourself.

4. inventory-manager

   3 1 1 8.4 TypeScript

   MERN inventory management

   

   I'm not sure if it's the "right way" as this is my first full stack MERN app, but here is a link to how I set mine up. Just as you described. One gitignore at the root, and the client and server folders are separate.
