  • git-filter-repo

    Quickly rewrite git repository history (filter-branch replacement)

  • For the "move to subdir" step, I recommend using git-filter-repo, which should be preferred over git-filter-branch (older code snippets often use it).

    Use git-filter-repo's --to-subdirectory-filter and --tag-rename:

    Just One Single History

  • Yes, there is! We (https://tvl.fyi) have been building Nix monorepo tooling for a while. You can see the current state of our repo at cs.tvl.fyi (+ reviews at cl.tvl.fyi and dynamic CI on tvl.fyi/builds).

    We use josh[0] to let people clone "just in time" repos with the tooling needed for our setup[1]. We've also started a consultancy (tvl.su) that helps companies move onto this setup, and have customers going for it already.

    The reasons we've not been making a lot of noise about this are that we have other large projects(like Tvix[2]) taking up time, and also the integration with customers moving to this setup lets us more confidently figure out what parts we need to smoothen for "non-TVL" use-cases.

    As for using Nix in a Bazel-like way, the common experience with Nix is that language-specific build systems are wrapped. This being possible enables projects written in _any_ language to be wrapped in Nix, and integrated in a Nix-based monorepo (something which makes it distinctly more powerful than other solutions).

    However, there's nothing in principle preventing Nix from dropping down a layer to the project level itself, and we've implemented (and use) this for Go[3] and Common Lisp[4].
