Monorepo

This is a bazel monorepo containing most of my side-projects and websites etc. Using a monorepo in this way makes it much easier to ensure linting and deployment are consistent across many projects, and prevents a lot of version rot.

Prerequisites

The only prerequisite is bazelisk, which you can get on brew. You can in theory run it with npx via npx run @bazel/bazelisk, but it is very slow so I don’t recommend it.

I recommend using the VSCode IDE. This repo is locally set up to configure it to conform to various linting and formatting settings.

Streamlining Bazel

This repo uses gazelle to generate build instructions for projects. There is support for Go, Bazel and Python.

Remote Caching

The project is configured to use a BuildBuddy cache for faster build times. If you have an account, you can run BUILDBUDDY_API_KEY=EDIT_AND_REPLACE ./.github/workflows/bootstrap_remote_cache.sh from the project root, and it will drop an .auth.bazelrc in there.

Once that's done, edit the file and replace EDIT_AND_REPLACE with your BuildBuddy API key. I do not recommend changing "EDIT_AND_REPLACE" on the bash commandline, or you'll end up having your secret API key stored in your shell history.
