Can you give me some pointers on how to setup this mono-repo.

The repo is labeled as a mono-repo. But, it's no making use of any mono-repo management tool such as mono_repo, or Melos. I am confused. I would really appreciate if someone can give me some pointers.

Thanks for using this new discussions feature :)

I personally just use it as a normal repo - my workflow is

git clone ...
cd pkgs/messages
dart pub get
dart run ...

I do want to switch to use the new pub workspace feature, that should help even more. Any suggestions or help are appreciated, I am curious to what workflows are available. I have no experience with melos, only mono_repo, which I find adds complexity more than it removes it.

Thanks. I actually just did the same thing you did. For the sake of consistency. Lol. I am not really a fan of mono-repo. But, in this type a situations. I think setting up Melos would simplify things for all the current and future contributors.

Maybe I should take a look at melos... What are current problems this might solve?

it's pretty much just creates a single "source of truth" to setup the project. You clone the repo, then write some specific commands specified in the readme and done. you are ready to contribute.

It doesn't do anything to the technical aspects project. The project is not even a huge thing. It just makes the setup smoother, and more standard among contributors. It only improves the DX.
