# Turborepo Skill
Build system for JavaScript/TypeScript monorepos. Turborepo caches task outputs and runs tasks in parallel based on dependency graph.
## IMPORTANT: Package Tasks, Not Root Tasks
**DO NOT create Root Tasks. ALWAYS create package tasks.**
When creating tasks/scripts/pipelines, you MUST:
1. Add the script to each relevant package's `package.json`
2. Register the task in root `turbo.json`
3. Root `package.json` only delegates via `turbo run <task>`
**DO NOT** put task logic in root `package.json`. This defeats Turborepo's parallelization.
```json
// DO THIS: Scripts in each package
// apps/web/package.json
{ "scripts": { "build": "next build", "lint": "eslint .", "test": "vitest" } }
// apps/api/package.json
{ "scripts": { "build": "tsc", "lint": "eslint .", "test": "vitest" } }
// packages/ui/package.json
{ "scripts": { "build": "tsc", "lint": "eslint .", "test": "vitest" } }
```
```json
// turbo.json - register tasks
{
"tasks": {
"build": { "dependsOn": ["^build"], "outputs": ["dist/**"] },
"lint": {},
"test": { "dependsOn": ["build"] }
}
}
```
```json
// Root package.json - ONLY delegates, no task logic
{
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo run build",
"lint": "turbo run lint",
"test": "turbo run test"
}
}
```
```json
// DO NOT DO THIS - defeats parallelization
// Root package.json
{
"scripts": {
"build": "cd apps/web && next build && cd ../api && tsc",
"lint": "eslint apps/ packages/",
"test": "vitest"
}
}
```
Root Tasks (`//#taskname`) are ONLY for tasks that truly cannot exist in packages (rare).
## Secondary Rule: `turbo run` vs `turbo`
**Always use `turbo run` when the command is written into code:**
```json
// package.json - ALWAYS "turbo run"
{
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo run build"
}
}
```
```yaml
# CI workflows - ALWAYS "turbo run"
- run: turbo run build --affected
```
**The shorthand `turbo <tasks>` is ONLY for one-off terminal commands** typed directly by humans or agents. Never write `turbo build` into package.json, CI, or scripts.
## Quick Decision Trees
### "I need to configure a task"
```
Configure a task?
├─ Define task dependencies → references/configuration/tasks.md
├─ Lint/check-types (parallel + caching) → Use Transit Nodes pattern (see below)
├─ Specify build outputs → references/configuration/tasks.md#outputs
├─ Handle environment variables → references/environment/README.md
├─ Set up dev/watch tasks → references/configuration/tasks.md#persistent
├─ Package-specific config → references/configuration/README.md#package-configurations
└─ Global settings (cacheDir, daemon) → references/configuration/global-options.md
```
### "My cache isn't working"
```
Cache problems?
├─ Tasks run but outputs not restored → Missing `outputs` key
├─ Cache misses unexpectedly → references/caching/gotchas.md
├─ Need to debug hash inputs → Use --summarize or --dry
├─ Want to skip cache entirely → Use --force or cache: false
├─ Remote cache not working → references/caching/remote-cache.md
└─ Environment causing misses → references/environment/gotchas.md
```
### "I want to run only changed packages"
```
Run only what changed?
├─ Changed packages + dependents (RECOMMENDED) → turbo run build --affected
├─ Custom base branch → --affected --affected-base=origin/develop
├─ Manual git comparison → --filter=...[origin/main]
└─ See all filter options → references/filtering/README.md
```
**`--affected` is the primary way to run only changed packages.** It automatically compares against the default branch and includes dependents.
### "I want to filter packages"
```
Filter packages?
├─ Only changed packages → --affected (see above)
├─ By package name → --filter=web
├─ By directory → --filter=./apps/*
├─ Package + dependencies → --filter=web...
├─ Package + dependents → --filter=...web
└─ Complex combinations → references/filtering/patterns.md
```
### "Environment variables aren't working"
```
Environment issues?
├─ Vars not available at runtime → Strict mode filtering (default)
├─ Cache hits with wrong env → Var not in `env` key
├─ .env changes not causing rebuilds → .env not in `inputs`
├─ CI variables missing → references/environment/gotchas.md
└─ Framework vars (NEXT_PUBLIC_*) → Auto-included via inference
```
### "I need to set up CI"
```
CI setup?
├─ GitHub Actions → references/ci/github-actions.md
├─ Vercel deployment → references/ci/vercel.md
├─ Remote cache in CI → references/caching/remote-cache.md
├─ Only build changed packages → --affected flag
├─ Skip unnecessary builds → turbo-ignore (references/cli/commands.md)
└─ Skip container setup when no changes → turbo-ignore
```
### "I want to watch for changes during development"
```
Watch mode?
├─ Re-run tasks on change → turbo watch (references/watch/README.md)
├─ Dev servers with dependencies → Use `with` key (references/configuration/tasks.md#with)
├─ Restart dev server on dep change → Use `interruptible: true`
└─ Persistent dev tasks → Use `persistent: true`
```
### "I need to create/structure a package"
```
Package creation/structure?
├─ Create an internal package → references/best-practices/packages.md
├─ Repository structure → references/best-practices/structure.md
├─ Dependency management → references/best-practices/dependencies.md
├─ Best practices overview → references/best-practices/README.md
├─ JIT vs Compiled packages → references/best-practices/packages.md#compilation-strategies
└─ Sharing code between apps → references/best-practices/README.md#package-types
```
### "How should I structure my monorepo?"
```
Monorepo structure?
├─ Standard layout (apps/, packages/) → references/best-practices/README.md
├─ Package types (apps vs libraries) → references/best-practices/README.md#package-types
├─ Creating internal packages → references/best-practices/packages.md
├─ TypeScript configuration → references/best-practices/structure.md#typescript-configuration
├─ ESLint configuration → references/best-practices/structure.md#eslint-configuration
├─ Dependency management → references/best-practices/dependencies.md
└─ Enforce package boundaries → references/boundaries/README.md
```
### "I want to enforce architectural boundaries"
```
Enforce boundaries?
├─ Check for violations → turbo boundaries
├─ Tag packages → references/boundaries/README.md#tags
├─ Restrict which packages can import others → references/boundaries/README.md#rule-types
└─ Prevent cross-package file imports → references/boundaries/README.md
```
## Critical Anti-Patterns
### Using `turbo` Shorthand in Code
**`turbo run` is recommended in package.json scripts and CI pipelines.** The shorthand `turbo <task>` is intended for interactive terminal use.
```json
// WRONG - using shorthand in package.json
{
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo build",
"dev": "turbo dev"
}
}
// CORRECT
{
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo run build",
"dev": "turbo run dev"
}
}
```
```yaml
# WRONG - using shorthand in CI
- run: turbo build --affected
# CORRECT
- run: turbo run build --affected
```
### Root Scripts Bypassing Turbo
Root `package.json` scripts MUST delegate to `turbo run`, not run tasks directly.
```json
// WRONG - bypasses turbo entirely
{
"scripts": {
"build": "bun build",
"dev": "bun dev"
}
}
// CORRECT - delegates to turbo
{
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo run build",
"dev": "turbo run dev"
}
}
```
### Using `&&` to Chain Turbo Tasks
Don't chain turbo tasks with `&&`. Let turbo orchestrate.
```json
// WRONG - turbo task not using turbo run
{
"scripts": {
"changeset:publish": "bun build && changeset publish"
}
}
// CORRECT
{
"scripts": {
"changeset:publish": "turbo run build && changeset publish"
}
}
```
### `prebuild` Scripts That Manually Build Dependencies
Scripts like `prebuild` that manually build other packages bypass Turborepo's dependency graph.
```json
// WRONG - manually building dependencies
{
"scripts": {
"prebuild": "cd ../../packages/types && bun run build && cd ../utils && bun run build",
"build": "next build"
}
}
```
**However, the fix depends on whether workspace dependencies are declared:**
1. **If dependencies ARE declared** (e.g., `"@repo/types": "workspace:*"` in package.json), remove the `prebuild` script. Turbo's `dependsOn: ["^build"]` handles this automatically.
2. **If dependencies are NOT declared**, the `prebuild` exists because `^build` won't trigger without a dependency relationship. The fix is to:
- Add the dependency to package.json: `"@repo/types": "workspace:*"`
- Then remove the `prebuild` script
```json
// CORRECT - declare dependency, let turbo handle build order
// package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"@repo/types": "workspace:*",
"@repo/utils": "workspace:*"
},
"scripts": {
"build": "next build"
}
}
// turbo.json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"]
}
}
}
```
**Key insight:** `^build` only runs build in packages listed as dependencies. No dependency declaration = no automatic build ordering.
### Overly Broad `globalDependencies`
`globalDependencies` affects ALL tasks in ALL packages. Be specific.
```json
// WRONG - heavy hammer, affects all hashes
{
"globalDependencies": ["**/.env.*local"]
}
// BETTER - move to task-level inputs
{
"globalDependencies": [".env"],
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env*"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
}
}
}
```
### Repetitive Task Configuration
Look for repeated configuration across tasks that can be collapsed. Turborepo supports shared configuration patterns.
```json
// WRONG - repetitive env and inputs across tasks
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"],
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env*"]
},
"test": {
"env": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"],
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env*"]
},
"dev": {
"env": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"],
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env*"],
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
}
}
// BETTER - use globalEnv and globalDependencies for shared config
{
"globalEnv": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"],
"globalDependencies": [".env*"],
"tasks": {
"build": {},
"test": {},
"dev": {
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
}
}
```
**When to use global vs task-level:**
- `globalEnv` / `globalDependencies` - affects ALL tasks, use for truly shared config
- Task-level `env` / `inputs` - use when only specific tasks need it
### NOT an Anti-Pattern: Large `env` Arrays
A large `env` array (even 50+ variables) is **not** a problem. It usually means the user was thorough about declaring their build's environment dependencies. Do not flag this as an issue.
### Using `--parallel` Flag
The `--parallel` flag bypasses Turborepo's dependency graph. If tasks need parallel execution, configure `dependsOn` correctly instead.
```bash
# WRONG - bypasses dependency graph
turbo run lint --parallel
# CORRECT - configure tasks to allow parallel execution
# In turbo.json, set dependsOn appropriately (or use transit nodes)
turbo run lint
```
### Package-Specific Task Overrides in Root turbo.json
When multiple packages need different task configurations, use **Package Configurations** (`turbo.json` in each package) instead of cluttering root `turbo.json` with `package#task` overrides.
```json
// WRONG - root turbo.json with many package-specific overrides
{
"tasks": {
"test": { "dependsOn": ["build"] },
"@repo/web#test": { "outputs": ["coverage/**"] },
"@repo/api#test": { "outputs": ["coverage/**"] },
"@repo/utils#test": { "outputs": [] },
"@repo/cli#test": { "outputs": [] },
"@repo/core#test": { "outputs": [] }
}
}
// CORRECT - use Package Configurations
// Root turbo.json - base config only
{
"tasks": {
"test": { "dependsOn": ["build"] }
}
}
// packages/web/turbo.json - package-specific override
{
"extends": ["//"],
"tasks": {
"test": { "outputs": ["coverage/**"] }
}
}
// packages/api/turbo.json
{
"extends": ["//"],
"tasks": {
"test": { "outputs": ["coverage/**"] }
}
}
```
**Benefits of Package Configurations:**
- Keeps configuration close to the code it affects
- Root turbo.json stays clean and focused on base patterns
- Easier to understand what's special about each package
- Works with `$TURBO_EXTENDS$` to inherit + extend arrays
**When to use `package#task` in root:**
- Single package needs a unique dependency (e.g., `"deploy": { "dependsOn": ["web#build"] }`)
- Temporary override while migrating
See `references/configuration/README.md#package-configurations` for full details.
### Using `../` to Traverse Out of Package in `inputs`
Don't use relative paths like `../` to reference files outside the package. Use `$TURBO_ROOT$` instead.
```json
// WRONG - traversing out of package
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "../shared-config.json"]
}
}
}
// CORRECT - use $TURBO_ROOT$ for repo root
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "$TURBO_ROOT$/shared-config.json"]
}
}
}
```
### Missing `outputs` for File-Producing Tasks
**Before flagging missing `outputs`, check what the task actually produces:**
1. Read the package's script (e.g., `"build": "tsc"`, `"test": "vitest"`)
2. Determine if it writes files to disk or only outputs to stdout
3. Only flag if the task produces files that should be cached
```json
// WRONG: build produces files but they're not cached
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"]
}
}
}
// CORRECT: build outputs are cached
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
}
}
}
```
Common outputs by framework:
- Next.js: `[".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]`
- Vite/Rollup: `["dist/**"]`
- tsc: `["dist/**"]` or custom `outDir`
**TypeScript `--noEmit` can still produce cache files:**
When `incremental: true` in tsconfig.json, `tsc --noEmit` writes `.tsbuildinfo` files even without emitting JS. Check the tsconfig before assuming no outputs:
```json
// If tsconfig has incremental: true, tsc --noEmit produces cache files
{
"tasks": {
"typecheck": {
"outputs": ["node_modules/.cache/tsbuildinfo.json"] // or wherever tsBuildInfoFile points
}
}
}
```
To determine correct outputs for TypeScript tasks:
1. Check if `incremental` or `composite` is enabled in tsconfig
2. Check `tsBuildInfoFile` for custom cache location (default: alongside `outDir` or in project root)
3. If no incremental mode, `tsc --noEmit` produces no files
### `^build` vs `build` Confusion
```json
{
"tasks": {
// ^build = run build in DEPENDENCIES first (other packages this one imports)
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"]
},
// build (no ^) = run build in SAME PACKAGE first
"test": {
"dependsOn": ["build"]
},
// pkg#task = specific package's task
"deploy": {
"dependsOn": ["web#build"]
}
}
}
```
### Environment Variables Not Hashed
```json
// WRONG: API_URL changes won't cause rebuilds
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
}
}
}
// CORRECT: API_URL changes invalidate cache
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputs": ["dist/**"],
"env": ["API_URL", "API_KEY"]
}
}
}
```
### `.env` Files Not in Inputs
Turbo does NOT load `.env` files - your framework does. But Turbo needs to know about changes:
```json
// WRONG: .env changes don't invalidate cache
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["API_URL"]
}
}
}
// CORRECT: .env file changes invalidate cache
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["API_URL"],
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env", ".env.*"]
}
}
}
```
### Root `.env` File in Monorepo
A `.env` file at the repo root is an anti-pattern — even for small monorepos or starter templates. It creates implicit coupling between packages and makes it unclear which packages depend on which variables.
```
// WRONG - root .env affects all packages implicitly
my-monorepo/
├── .env # Which packages use this?
├── apps/
│ ├── web/
│ └── api/
└── packages/
// CORRECT - .env files in packages that need them
my-monorepo/
├── apps/
│ ├── web/
│ │ └── .env # Clear: web needs DATABASE_URL
│ └── api/
│ └── .env # Clear: api needs API_KEY
└── packages/
```
**Problems with root `.env`:**
- Unclear which packages consume which variables
- All packages get all variables (even ones they don't need)
- Cache invalidation is coarse-grained (root .env change invalidates everything)
- Security risk: packages may accidentally access sensitive vars meant for others
- Bad habits start small — starter templates should model correct patterns
**If you must share variables**, use `globalEnv` to be explicit about what's shared, and document why.
### Strict Mode Filtering CI Variables
By default, Turborepo filters environment variables to only those in `env`/`globalEnv`. CI variables may be missing:
```json
// If CI scripts need GITHUB_TOKEN but it's not in env:
{
"globalPassThroughEnv": ["GITHUB_TOKEN", "CI"],
"tasks": { ... }
}
```
Or use `--env-mode=loose` (not recommended for production).
### Shared Code in Apps (Should Be a Package)
```
// WRONG: Shared code inside an app
apps/
web/
shared/ # This breaks monorepo principles!
utils.ts
// CORRECT: Extract to a package
packages/
utils/
src/utils.ts
```
### Accessing Files Across Package Boundaries
```typescript
// WRONG: Reaching into another package's internals
import { Button } from "../../packages/ui/src/button";
// CORRECT: Install and import properly
import { Button } from "@repo/ui/button";
```
### Too Many Root Dependencies
```json
// WRONG: App dependencies in root
{
"dependencies": {
"react": "^18",
"next": "^14"
}
}
// CORRECT: Only repo tools in root
{
"devDependencies": {
"turbo": "latest"
}
}
```
## Common Task Configurations
### Standard Build Pipeline
```json
{
"$schema": "https://turborepo.dev/schema.v2.json",
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
},
"dev": {
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
}
}
```
Add a `transit` task if you have tasks that need parallel execution with cache invalidation (see below).
### Dev Task with `^dev` Pattern (for `turbo watch`)
A `dev` task with `dependsOn: ["^dev"]` and `persistent: false` in root turbo.json may look unusual but is **correct for `turbo watch` workflows**:
```json
// Root turbo.json
{
"tasks": {
"dev": {
"dependsOn": ["^dev"],
"cache": false,
"persistent": false // Packages have one-shot dev scripts
}
}
}
// Package turbo.json (apps/web/turbo.json)
{
"extends": ["//"],
"tasks": {
"dev": {
"persistent": true // Apps run long-running dev servers
}
}
}
```
**Why this works:**
- **Packages** (e.g., `@acme/db`, `@acme/validators`) have `"dev": "tsc"` — one-shot type generation that completes quickly
- **Apps** override with `persistent: true` for actual dev servers (Next.js, etc.)
- **`turbo watch`** re-runs the one-shot package `dev` scripts when source files change, keeping types in sync
**Intended usage:** Run `turbo watch dev` (not `turbo run dev`). Watch mode re-executes one-shot tasks on file changes while keeping persistent tasks running.
**Alternative pattern:** Use a separate task name like `prepare` or `generate` for one-shot dependency builds to make the intent clearer:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"prepare": {
"dependsOn": ["^prepare"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
},
"dev": {
"dependsOn": ["prepare"],
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
}
}
```
### Transit Nodes for Parallel Tasks with Cache Invalidation
Some tasks can run in parallel (don't need built output from dependencies) but must invalidate cache when dependency source code changes.
**The problem with `dependsOn: ["^taskname"]`:**
- Forces sequential execution (slow)
**The problem with `dependsOn: []` (no dependencies):**
- Allows parallel execution (fast)
- But cache is INCORRECT - changing dependency source won't invalidate cache
**Transit Nodes solve both:**
```json
{
"tasks": {
"transit": { "dependsOn": ["^transit"] },
"my-task": { "dependsOn": ["transit"] }
}
}
```
The `transit` task creates dependency relationships without matching any actual script, so tasks run in parallel with correct cache invalidation.
**How to identify tasks that need this pattern:** Look for tasks that read source files from dependencies but don't need their build outputs.
### With Environment Variables
```json
{
"globalEnv": ["NODE_ENV"],
"globalDependencies": [".env"],
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"],
"env": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"]
}
}
}
```

Load the Turborepo skill and help with monorepo task orchestration: creating workflows, configuring tasks, setting up pipelines, and optimizing builds.
## Workflow
### Step 1: Load turborepo skill
```
skill({ name: 'turborepo' })
```
### Step 2: Identify task type from user request
Analyze $ARGUMENTS to determine:
- **Topic**: configuration, caching, filtering, environment, CI, or CLI
- **Task type**: new setup, debugging, optimization, or implementation
Use decision trees in SKILL.md to select the relevant reference files.
### Step 3: Read relevant reference files
Based on task type, read from `references/<topic>/`:
| Task | Files to Read |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| Configure turbo.json | `configuration/README.md` + `configuration/tasks.md` |
| Debug cache issues | `caching/gotchas.md` |
| Set up remote cache | `caching/remote-cache.md` |
| Filter packages | `filtering/README.md` + `filtering/patterns.md` |
| Environment problems | `environment/gotchas.md` + `environment/modes.md` |
| Set up CI | `ci/README.md` + `ci/github-actions.md` or `ci/vercel.md` |
| CLI usage | `cli/commands.md` |
### Step 4: Execute task
Apply Turborepo-specific patterns from references to complete the user's request.
**CRITICAL - When creating tasks/scripts/pipelines:**
1. **DO NOT create Root Tasks** - Always create package tasks
2. Add scripts to each relevant package's `package.json` (e.g., `apps/web/package.json`, `packages/ui/package.json`)
3. Register the task in root `turbo.json`
4. Root `package.json` only contains `turbo run <task>` - never actual task logic
**Other things to verify:**
- `outputs` defined for cacheable tasks
- `dependsOn` uses correct syntax (`^task` vs `task`)
- Environment variables in `env` key
- `.env` files in `inputs` if used
- Use `turbo run` (not `turbo`) in package.json and CI
### Step 5: Summarize
```
=== Turborepo Task Complete ===
Topic: <configuration|caching|filtering|environment|ci|cli>
Files referenced: <reference files consulted>
<brief summary of what was done>
```
<user-request>
$ARGUMENTS
</user-request>

# Dependency Management
Best practices for managing dependencies in a Turborepo monorepo.
## Core Principle: Install Where Used
Dependencies belong in the package that uses them, not the root.
```bash
# Good: Install in specific package
pnpm add react --filter=@repo/ui
pnpm add next --filter=web
# Avoid: Installing in root
pnpm add react -w # Only for repo-level tools!
```
## Benefits of Local Installation
### 1. Clarity
Each package's `package.json` lists exactly what it needs:
```json
// packages/ui/package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"react": "^18.0.0",
"class-variance-authority": "^0.7.0"
}
}
```
### 2. Flexibility
Different packages can use different versions when needed:
```json
// packages/legacy-ui/package.json
{ "dependencies": { "react": "^17.0.0" } }
// packages/ui/package.json
{ "dependencies": { "react": "^18.0.0" } }
```
### 3. Better Caching
Installing in root changes workspace lockfile, invalidating all caches.
### 4. Pruning Support
`turbo prune` can remove unused dependencies for Docker images.
## What Belongs in Root
Only repository-level tools:
```json
// Root package.json
{
"devDependencies": {
"turbo": "latest",
"husky": "^8.0.0",
"lint-staged": "^15.0.0"
}
}
```
**NOT** application dependencies:
- react, next, express
- lodash, axios, zod
- Testing libraries (unless truly repo-wide)
## Installing Dependencies
### Single Package
```bash
# pnpm
pnpm add lodash --filter=@repo/utils
# npm
npm install lodash --workspace=@repo/utils
# yarn
yarn workspace @repo/utils add lodash
# bun
cd packages/utils && bun add lodash
```
### Multiple Packages
```bash
# pnpm
pnpm add jest --save-dev --filter=web --filter=@repo/ui
# npm
npm install jest --save-dev --workspace=web --workspace=@repo/ui
# yarn (v2+)
yarn workspaces foreach -R --from '{web,@repo/ui}' add jest --dev
```
### Internal Packages
```bash
# pnpm
pnpm add @repo/ui --filter=web
# This updates package.json:
{
"dependencies": {
"@repo/ui": "workspace:*"
}
}
```
## Keeping Versions in Sync
### Option 1: Tooling
```bash
# syncpack - Check and fix version mismatches
npx syncpack list-mismatches
npx syncpack fix-mismatches
# manypkg - Similar functionality
npx @manypkg/cli check
npx @manypkg/cli fix
# sherif - Rust-based, very fast
npx sherif
```
### Option 2: Package Manager Commands
```bash
# pnpm - Update everywhere
pnpm up --recursive typescript@latest
# npm - Update in all workspaces
npm install typescript@latest --workspaces
```
### Option 3: pnpm Catalogs (pnpm 9.5+)
```yaml
# pnpm-workspace.yaml
packages:
- "apps/*"
- "packages/*"
catalog:
react: ^18.2.0
typescript: ^5.3.0
```
```json
// Any package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"react": "catalog:" // Uses version from catalog
}
}
```
## Internal vs External Dependencies
### Internal (Workspace)
```json
// pnpm/bun
{ "@repo/ui": "workspace:*" }
// npm/yarn
{ "@repo/ui": "*" }
```
Turborepo understands these relationships and orders builds accordingly.
### External (npm Registry)
```json
{ "lodash": "^4.17.21" }
```
Standard semver versioning from npm.
## Peer Dependencies
For library packages that expect the consumer to provide dependencies:
```json
// packages/ui/package.json
{
"peerDependencies": {
"react": "^18.0.0",
"react-dom": "^18.0.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"react": "^18.0.0", // For development/testing
"react-dom": "^18.0.0"
}
}
```
## Common Issues
### "Module not found"
1. Check the dependency is installed in the right package
2. Run `pnpm install` / `npm install` to update lockfile
3. Check exports are defined in the package
### Version Conflicts
Packages can use different versions - this is a feature, not a bug. But if you need consistency:
1. Use tooling (syncpack, manypkg)
2. Use pnpm catalogs
3. Create a lint rule
### Hoisting Issues
Some tools expect dependencies in specific locations. Use package manager config:
```yaml
# .npmrc (pnpm)
public-hoist-pattern[]=*eslint*
public-hoist-pattern[]=*prettier*
```
## Lockfile
**Required** for:
- Reproducible builds
- Turborepo dependency analysis
- Cache correctness
```bash
# Commit your lockfile!
git add pnpm-lock.yaml # or package-lock.json, yarn.lock
```

# Creating Internal Packages
How to create and structure internal packages in your monorepo.
## Package Creation Checklist
1. Create directory in `packages/`
2. Add `package.json` with name and exports
3. Add source code in `src/`
4. Add `tsconfig.json` if using TypeScript
5. Install as dependency in consuming packages
6. Run package manager install to update lockfile
## Package Compilation Strategies
### Just-in-Time (JIT)
Export TypeScript directly. The consuming app's bundler compiles it.
```json
// packages/ui/package.json
{
"name": "@repo/ui",
"exports": {
"./button": "./src/button.tsx",
"./card": "./src/card.tsx"
},
"scripts": {
"lint": "eslint .",
"check-types": "tsc --noEmit"
}
}
```
**When to use:**
- Apps use modern bundlers (Turbopack, webpack, Vite)
- You want minimal configuration
- Build times are acceptable without caching
**Limitations:**
- No Turborepo cache for the package itself
- Consumer must support TypeScript compilation
- Can't use TypeScript `paths` (use Node.js subpath imports instead)
### Compiled
Package handles its own compilation.
```json
// packages/ui/package.json
{
"name": "@repo/ui",
"exports": {
"./button": {
"types": "./src/button.tsx",
"default": "./dist/button.js"
}
},
"scripts": {
"build": "tsc",
"dev": "tsc --watch"
}
}
```
```json
// packages/ui/tsconfig.json
{
"extends": "@repo/typescript-config/library.json",
"compilerOptions": {
"outDir": "dist",
"rootDir": "src"
},
"include": ["src"],
"exclude": ["node_modules", "dist"]
}
```
**When to use:**
- You want Turborepo to cache builds
- Package will be used by non-bundler tools
- You need maximum compatibility
**Remember:** Add `dist/**` to turbo.json outputs!
## Defining Exports
### Multiple Entrypoints
```json
{
"exports": {
".": "./src/index.ts", // @repo/ui
"./button": "./src/button.tsx", // @repo/ui/button
"./card": "./src/card.tsx", // @repo/ui/card
"./hooks": "./src/hooks/index.ts" // @repo/ui/hooks
}
}
```
### Conditional Exports (Compiled)
```json
{
"exports": {
"./button": {
"types": "./src/button.tsx",
"import": "./dist/button.mjs",
"require": "./dist/button.cjs",
"default": "./dist/button.js"
}
}
}
```
## Installing Internal Packages
### Add to Consuming Package
```json
// apps/web/package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"@repo/ui": "workspace:*" // pnpm/bun
// "@repo/ui": "*" // npm/yarn
}
}
```
### Run Install
```bash
pnpm install # Updates lockfile with new dependency
```
### Import and Use
```typescript
// apps/web/src/page.tsx
import { Button } from '@repo/ui/button';
export default function Page() {
return <Button>Click me</Button>;
}
```
## One Purpose Per Package
### Good Examples
```
packages/
├── ui/ # Shared UI components
├── utils/ # General utilities
├── auth/ # Authentication logic
├── database/ # Database client/schemas
├── eslint-config/ # ESLint configuration
├── typescript-config/ # TypeScript configuration
└── api-client/ # Generated API client
```
### Avoid Mega-Packages
```
// BAD: One package for everything
packages/
└── shared/
├── components/
├── utils/
├── hooks/
├── types/
└── api/
// GOOD: Separate by purpose
packages/
├── ui/ # Components
├── utils/ # Utilities
├── hooks/ # React hooks
├── types/ # Shared TypeScript types
└── api-client/ # API utilities
```
## Config Packages
### TypeScript Config
```json
// packages/typescript-config/package.json
{
"name": "@repo/typescript-config",
"exports": {
"./base.json": "./base.json",
"./nextjs.json": "./nextjs.json",
"./library.json": "./library.json"
}
}
```
### ESLint Config
```json
// packages/eslint-config/package.json
{
"name": "@repo/eslint-config",
"exports": {
"./base": "./base.js",
"./next": "./next.js"
},
"dependencies": {
"eslint": "^8.0.0",
"eslint-config-next": "latest"
}
}
```
## Common Mistakes
### Forgetting to Export
```json
// BAD: No exports defined
{
"name": "@repo/ui"
}
// GOOD: Clear exports
{
"name": "@repo/ui",
"exports": {
"./button": "./src/button.tsx"
}
}
```
### Wrong Workspace Syntax
```json
// pnpm/bun
{ "@repo/ui": "workspace:*" } // Correct
// npm/yarn
{ "@repo/ui": "*" } // Correct
{ "@repo/ui": "workspace:*" } // Wrong for npm/yarn!
```
### Missing from turbo.json Outputs
```json
// Package builds to dist/, but turbo.json doesn't know
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputs": [".next/**"] // Missing dist/**!
}
}
}
// Correct
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputs": [".next/**", "dist/**"]
}
}
}
```
## TypeScript Best Practices
### Use Node.js Subpath Imports (Not `paths`)
TypeScript `compilerOptions.paths` breaks with JIT packages. Use Node.js subpath imports instead (TypeScript 5.4+).
**JIT Package:**
```json
// packages/ui/package.json
{
"imports": {
"#*": "./src/*"
}
}
```
```typescript
// packages/ui/button.tsx
import { MY_STRING } from "#utils.ts"; // Uses .ts extension
```
**Compiled Package:**
```json
// packages/ui/package.json
{
"imports": {
"#*": "./dist/*"
}
}
```
```typescript
// packages/ui/button.tsx
import { MY_STRING } from "#utils.js"; // Uses .js extension
```
### Use `tsc` for Internal Packages
For internal packages, prefer `tsc` over bundlers. Bundlers can mangle code before it reaches your app's bundler, causing hard-to-debug issues.
### Enable Go-to-Definition
For Compiled Packages, enable declaration maps:
```json
// tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"declaration": true,
"declarationMap": true
}
}
```
This creates `.d.ts` and `.d.ts.map` files for IDE navigation.
### No Root tsconfig.json Needed
Each package should have its own `tsconfig.json`. A root one causes all tasks to miss cache when changed. Only use root `tsconfig.json` for non-package scripts.
### Avoid TypeScript Project References
They add complexity and another caching layer. Turborepo handles dependencies better.

# Repository Structure
Detailed guidance on structuring a Turborepo monorepo.
## Workspace Configuration
### pnpm (Recommended)
```yaml
# pnpm-workspace.yaml
packages:
- "apps/*"
- "packages/*"
```
### npm/yarn/bun
```json
// package.json
{
"workspaces": ["apps/*", "packages/*"]
}
```
## Root package.json
```json
{
"name": "my-monorepo",
"private": true,
"packageManager": "pnpm@9.0.0",
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo run build",
"dev": "turbo run dev",
"lint": "turbo run lint",
"test": "turbo run test"
},
"devDependencies": {
"turbo": "latest"
}
}
```
Key points:
- `private: true` - Prevents accidental publishing
- `packageManager` - Enforces consistent package manager version
- **Scripts only delegate to `turbo run`** - No actual build logic here!
- Minimal devDependencies (just turbo and repo tools)
## Always Prefer Package Tasks
**Always use package tasks. Only use Root Tasks if you cannot succeed with package tasks.**
```json
// packages/web/package.json
{
"scripts": {
"build": "next build",
"lint": "eslint .",
"test": "vitest",
"typecheck": "tsc --noEmit"
}
}
// packages/api/package.json
{
"scripts": {
"build": "tsc",
"lint": "eslint .",
"test": "vitest",
"typecheck": "tsc --noEmit"
}
}
```
Package tasks enable Turborepo to:
1. **Parallelize** - Run `web#lint` and `api#lint` simultaneously
2. **Cache individually** - Each package's task output is cached separately
3. **Filter precisely** - Run `turbo run test --filter=web` for just one package
**Root Tasks are a fallback** for tasks that truly cannot run per-package:
```json
// AVOID unless necessary - sequential, not parallelized, can't filter
{
"scripts": {
"lint": "eslint apps/web && eslint apps/api && eslint packages/ui"
}
}
```
## Root turbo.json
```json
{
"$schema": "https://turborepo.dev/schema.v2.json",
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
},
"lint": {},
"test": {
"dependsOn": ["build"]
},
"dev": {
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
}
}
```
## Directory Organization
### Grouping Packages
You can group packages by adding more workspace paths:
```yaml
# pnpm-workspace.yaml
packages:
- "apps/*"
- "packages/*"
- "packages/config/*" # Grouped configs
- "packages/features/*" # Feature packages
```
This allows:
```
packages/
├── ui/
├── utils/
├── config/
│ ├── eslint/
│ ├── typescript/
│ └── tailwind/
└── features/
├── auth/
└── payments/
```
### What NOT to Do
```yaml
# BAD: Nested wildcards cause ambiguous behavior
packages:
- "packages/**" # Don't do this!
```
## Package Anatomy
### Minimum Required Files
```
packages/ui/
├── package.json # Required: Makes it a package
├── src/ # Source code
│ └── button.tsx
└── tsconfig.json # TypeScript config (if using TS)
```
### package.json Requirements
```json
{
"name": "@repo/ui", // Unique, namespaced name
"version": "0.0.0", // Version (can be 0.0.0 for internal)
"private": true, // Prevents accidental publishing
"exports": { // Entry points
"./button": "./src/button.tsx"
}
}
```
## TypeScript Configuration
### Shared Base Config
Create a shared TypeScript config package:
```
packages/
└── typescript-config/
├── package.json
├── base.json
├── nextjs.json
└── library.json
```
```json
// packages/typescript-config/base.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"strict": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,
"skipLibCheck": true,
"moduleResolution": "bundler",
"module": "ESNext",
"target": "ES2022"
}
}
```
### Extending in Packages
```json
// packages/ui/tsconfig.json
{
"extends": "@repo/typescript-config/library.json",
"compilerOptions": {
"outDir": "dist",
"rootDir": "src"
},
"include": ["src"],
"exclude": ["node_modules", "dist"]
}
```
### No Root tsconfig.json
You likely don't need a `tsconfig.json` in the workspace root. Each package should have its own config extending from the shared config package.
## ESLint Configuration
### Shared Config Package
```
packages/
└── eslint-config/
├── package.json
├── base.js
├── next.js
└── library.js
```
```json
// packages/eslint-config/package.json
{
"name": "@repo/eslint-config",
"exports": {
"./base": "./base.js",
"./next": "./next.js",
"./library": "./library.js"
}
}
```
### Using in Packages
```js
// apps/web/.eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
extends: ["@repo/eslint-config/next"],
};
```
## Lockfile
A lockfile is **required** for:
- Reproducible builds
- Turborepo to understand package dependencies
- Cache correctness
Without a lockfile, you'll see unpredictable behavior.

# Debugging Cache Issues
## Diagnostic Tools
### `--summarize`
Generates a JSON file with all hash inputs. Compare two runs to find differences.
```bash
turbo build --summarize
# Creates .turbo/runs/<run-id>.json
```
The summary includes:
- Global hash and its inputs
- Per-task hashes and their inputs
- Environment variables that affected the hash
**Comparing runs:**
```bash
# Run twice, compare the summaries
diff .turbo/runs/<first-run>.json .turbo/runs/<second-run>.json
```
### `--dry` / `--dry=json`
See what would run without executing anything:
```bash
turbo build --dry
turbo build --dry=json # machine-readable output
```
Shows cache status for each task without running them.
### `--force`
Skip reading cache, re-execute all tasks:
```bash
turbo build --force
```
Useful to verify tasks actually work (not just cached results).
## Unexpected Cache Misses
**Symptom:** Task runs when you expected a cache hit.
### Environment Variable Changed
Check if an env var in the `env` key changed:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["API_URL", "NODE_ENV"]
}
}
}
```
Different `API_URL` between runs = cache miss.
### .env File Changed
`.env` files aren't tracked by default. Add to `inputs`:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env", ".env.local"]
}
}
}
```
Or use `globalDependencies` for repo-wide env files:
```json
{
"globalDependencies": [".env"]
}
```
### Lockfile Changed
Installing/updating packages changes the global hash.
### Source Files Changed
Any file in the package (or in `inputs`) triggers a miss.
### turbo.json Changed
Config changes invalidate the global hash.
## Incorrect Cache Hits
**Symptom:** Cached output is stale/wrong.
### Missing Environment Variable
Task uses an env var not listed in `env`:
```javascript
// build.js
const apiUrl = process.env.API_URL; // not tracked!
```
Fix: add to task config:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["API_URL"]
}
}
}
```
### Missing File in Inputs
Task reads a file outside default inputs:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": [
"$TURBO_DEFAULT$",
"../../shared-config.json" // file outside package
]
}
}
}
```
## Useful Flags
```bash
# Only show output for cache misses
turbo build --output-logs=new-only
# Show output for everything (debugging)
turbo build --output-logs=full
# See why tasks are running
turbo build --verbosity=2
```
## Quick Checklist
Cache miss when expected hit:
1. Run with `--summarize`, compare with previous run
2. Check env vars with `--dry=json`
3. Look for lockfile/config changes in git
Cache hit when expected miss:
1. Verify env var is in `env` array
2. Verify file is in `inputs` array
3. Check if file is outside package directory

# Remote Caching
Share cache artifacts across your team and CI pipelines.
## Benefits
- Team members get cache hits from each other's work
- CI gets cache hits from local development (and vice versa)
- Dramatically faster CI runs after first build
- No more "works on my machine" rebuilds
## Vercel Remote Cache
Free, zero-config when deploying on Vercel. For local dev and other CI:
### Local Development Setup
```bash
# Authenticate with Vercel
npx turbo login
# Link repo to your Vercel team
npx turbo link
```
This creates `.turbo/config.json` with your team info (gitignored by default).
### CI Setup
Set these environment variables:
```bash
TURBO_TOKEN=<your-token>
TURBO_TEAM=<your-team-slug>
```
Get your token from Vercel dashboard → Settings → Tokens.
**GitHub Actions example:**
```yaml
- name: Build
run: npx turbo build
env:
TURBO_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.TURBO_TOKEN }}
TURBO_TEAM: ${{ vars.TURBO_TEAM }}
```
## Configuration in turbo.json
```json
{
"remoteCache": {
"enabled": true,
"signature": false
}
}
```
Options:
- `enabled`: toggle remote cache (default: true when authenticated)
- `signature`: require artifact signing (default: false)
## Artifact Signing
Verify cache artifacts haven't been tampered with:
```bash
# Set a secret key (use same key across all environments)
export TURBO_REMOTE_CACHE_SIGNATURE_KEY="your-secret-key"
```
Enable in config:
```json
{
"remoteCache": {
"signature": true
}
}
```
Signed artifacts can only be restored if the signature matches.
## Self-Hosted Options
Community implementations for running your own cache server:
- **turbo-remote-cache** (Node.js) - supports S3, GCS, Azure
- **turborepo-remote-cache** (Go) - lightweight, S3-compatible
- **ducktape** (Rust) - high-performance option
Configure with environment variables:
```bash
TURBO_API=https://your-cache-server.com
TURBO_TOKEN=your-auth-token
TURBO_TEAM=your-team
```
## Cache Behavior Control
```bash
# Disable remote cache for a run
turbo build --remote-cache-read-only # read but don't write
turbo build --no-cache # skip cache entirely
# Environment variable alternative
TURBO_REMOTE_ONLY=true # only use remote, skip local
```
## Debugging Remote Cache
```bash
# Verbose output shows cache operations
turbo build --verbosity=2
# Check if remote cache is configured
turbo config
```
Look for:
- "Remote caching enabled" in output
- Upload/download messages during runs
- "cache hit, replaying output" with remote cache indicator

# GitHub Actions
Complete setup guide for Turborepo with GitHub Actions.
## Basic Workflow Structure
```yaml
name: CI
on:
push:
branches: [main]
pull_request:
branches: [main]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
fetch-depth: 2
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: 20
- name: Install dependencies
run: npm ci
- name: Build and Test
run: turbo run build test lint
```
## Package Manager Setup
### pnpm
```yaml
- uses: pnpm/action-setup@v3
with:
version: 9
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: 20
cache: 'pnpm'
- run: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
```
### Yarn
```yaml
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: 20
cache: 'yarn'
- run: yarn install --frozen-lockfile
```
### Bun
```yaml
- uses: oven-sh/setup-bun@v1
with:
bun-version: latest
- run: bun install --frozen-lockfile
```
## Remote Cache Setup
### 1. Create Vercel Access Token
1. Go to [Vercel Dashboard](https://vercel.com/account/tokens)
2. Create a new token with appropriate scope
3. Copy the token value
### 2. Add Secrets and Variables
In your GitHub repository settings:
**Secrets** (Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions > Secrets):
- `TURBO_TOKEN`: Your Vercel access token
**Variables** (Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions > Variables):
- `TURBO_TEAM`: Your Vercel team slug
### 3. Add to Workflow
```yaml
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
env:
TURBO_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.TURBO_TOKEN }}
TURBO_TEAM: ${{ vars.TURBO_TEAM }}
```
## Alternative: actions/cache
If you can't use remote cache, cache Turborepo's local cache directory:
```yaml
- uses: actions/cache@v4
with:
path: .turbo
key: turbo-${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('**/turbo.json', '**/package-lock.json') }}
restore-keys: |
turbo-${{ runner.os }}-
```
Note: This is less effective than remote cache since it's per-branch.
## Complete Example
```yaml
name: CI
on:
push:
branches: [main]
pull_request:
branches: [main]
jobs:

# CI Optimization Patterns
Strategies for efficient CI/CD with Turborepo.
## PR vs Main Branch Builds
### PR Builds: Only Affected
Test only what changed in the PR:
```yaml
- name: Test (PR)
if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'
run: turbo run build test --affected
```
### Main Branch: Full Build
Ensure complete validation on merge:
```yaml
- name: Test (Main)
if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
run: turbo run build test
```
## Custom Git Ranges with --filter
For advanced scenarios, use `--filter` with git refs:
```bash
# Changes since specific commit
turbo run test --filter="...[abc123]"
# Changes between refs
turbo run test --filter="...[main...HEAD]"
# Changes in last 3 commits
turbo run test --filter="...[HEAD~3]"
```
## Caching Strategies
### Remote Cache (Recommended)
Best performance - shared across all CI runs and developers:
```yaml
env:
TURBO_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.TURBO_TOKEN }}
TURBO_TEAM: ${{ vars.TURBO_TEAM }}
```
### actions/cache Fallback
When remote cache isn't available:
```yaml
- uses: actions/cache@v4
with:
path: .turbo
key: turbo-${{ runner.os }}-${{ github.sha }}
restore-keys: |
turbo-${{ runner.os }}-${{ github.ref }}-
turbo-${{ runner.os }}-
```
Limitations:
- Cache is branch-scoped
- PRs restore from base branch cache
- Less efficient than remote cache
## Matrix Builds
Test across Node versions:
```yaml
strategy:
matrix:
node: [18, 20, 22]
steps:
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: ${{ matrix.node }}
- run: turbo run test
```
## Parallelizing Across Jobs
Split tasks into separate jobs:
```yaml
jobs:
lint:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- run: turbo run lint --affected
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- run: turbo run test --affected
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: [lint, test]
steps:
- run: turbo run build
```
### Cache Considerations
When parallelizing:
- Each job has separate cache writes
- Remote cache handles this automatically
- With actions/cache, use unique keys per job to avoid conflicts
```yaml
- uses: actions/cache@v4
with:
path: .turbo
key: turbo-${{ runner.os }}-${{ github.job }}-${{ github.sha }}
```
## Conditional Tasks
Skip expensive tasks on draft PRs:
```yaml
- name: E2E Tests
if: github.event.pull_request.draft == false
run: turbo run test:e2e --affected
```
Or require label for full test:
```yaml
- name: Full Test Suite
if: contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'full-test')
run: turbo run test
```

# Vercel Deployment
Turborepo integrates seamlessly with Vercel for monorepo deployments.
## Remote Cache
Remote caching is **automatically enabled** when deploying to Vercel. No configuration needed - Vercel detects Turborepo and enables caching.
This means:
- No `TURBO_TOKEN` or `TURBO_TEAM` setup required on Vercel
- Cache is shared across all deployments
- Preview and production builds benefit from cache
## turbo-ignore
Skip unnecessary builds when a package hasn't changed using `turbo-ignore`.
### Installation
```bash
npx turbo-ignore
```
Or install globally in your project:
```bash
pnpm add -D turbo-ignore
```
### Setup in Vercel
1. Go to your project in Vercel Dashboard
2. Navigate to Settings > Git > Ignored Build Step
3. Select "Custom" and enter:
```bash
npx turbo-ignore
```
### How It Works
`turbo-ignore` checks if the current package (or its dependencies) changed since the last successful deployment:
1. Compares current commit to last deployed commit
2. Uses Turborepo's dependency graph
3. Returns exit code 0 (skip) if no changes
4. Returns exit code 1 (build) if changes detected
### Options
```bash
# Check specific package
npx turbo-ignore web
# Use specific comparison ref
npx turbo-ignore --fallback=HEAD~1
# Verbose output
npx turbo-ignore --verbose
```
## Environment Variables
Set environment variables in Vercel Dashboard:
1. Go to Project Settings > Environment Variables
2. Add variables for each environment (Production, Preview, Development)
Common variables:
- `DATABASE_URL`
- `API_KEY`
- Package-specific config
## Monorepo Root Directory
For monorepos, set the root directory in Vercel:
1. Project Settings > General > Root Directory
2. Set to the package path (e.g., `apps/web`)
Vercel automatically:
- Installs dependencies from monorepo root
- Runs build from the package directory
- Detects framework settings
## Build Command
Vercel auto-detects `turbo run build` when `turbo.json` exists at root.
Override if needed:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=web
```
Or for production-only optimizations:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=web --env-mode=strict
```

# turbo run Flags Reference
Full docs: https://turborepo.dev/docs/reference/run
## Package Selection
### `--filter` / `-F`
Select specific packages to run tasks in.
```bash
turbo build --filter=web
turbo build -F=@repo/ui -F=@repo/utils
turbo test --filter=./apps/*
```
See `filtering/` for complete syntax (globs, dependencies, git ranges).
### Task Identifier Syntax (v2.2.4+)
Run specific package tasks directly:
```bash
turbo run web#build # Build web package
turbo run web#build docs#lint # Multiple specific tasks
```
### `--affected`
Run only in packages changed since the base branch.
```bash
turbo build --affected
turbo test --affected --filter=./apps/* # combine with filter
```
**How it works:**
- Default: compares `main...HEAD`
- In GitHub Actions: auto-detects `GITHUB_BASE_REF`
- Override base: `TURBO_SCM_BASE=development turbo build --affected`
- Override head: `TURBO_SCM_HEAD=your-branch turbo build --affected`
**Requires git history** - shallow clones may fall back to running all tasks.
## Execution Control
### `--dry` / `--dry=json`
Preview what would run without executing.
```bash
turbo build --dry # human-readable
turbo build --dry=json # machine-readable
```
### `--force`
Ignore all cached artifacts, re-run everything.
```bash
turbo build --force
```
### `--concurrency`
Limit parallel task execution.
```bash
turbo build --concurrency=4 # max 4 tasks
turbo build --concurrency=50% # 50% of CPU cores
```
### `--continue`
Keep running other tasks when one fails.
```bash
turbo build test --continue
```
### `--only`
Run only the specified task, skip its dependencies.
```bash
turbo build --only # skip running dependsOn tasks
```
### `--parallel` (Discouraged)
Ignores task graph dependencies, runs all tasks simultaneously. **Avoid using this flag**—if tasks need to run in parallel, configure `dependsOn` correctly instead. Using `--parallel` bypasses Turborepo's dependency graph, which can cause race conditions and incorrect builds.
## Cache Control
### `--cache`
Fine-grained cache behavior control.
```bash
# Default: read/write both local and remote
turbo build --cache=local:rw,remote:rw
# Read-only local, no remote
turbo build --cache=local:r,remote:
# Disable local, read-only remote
turbo build --cache=local:,remote:r
# Disable all caching
turbo build --cache=local:,remote:
```
## Output & Debugging
### `--graph`
Generate task graph visualization.
```bash
turbo build --graph # opens in browser
turbo build --graph=graph.svg # SVG file
turbo build --graph=graph.png # PNG file
turbo build --graph=graph.json # JSON data
turbo build --graph=graph.mermaid # Mermaid diagram
```
### `--summarize`
Generate JSON run summary for debugging.
```bash
turbo build --summarize
# creates .turbo/runs/<run-id>.json
```
### `--output-logs`
Control log output verbosity.
```bash
turbo build --output-logs=full # all logs (default)
turbo build --output-logs=new-only # only cache misses
turbo build --output-logs=errors-only # only failures
turbo build --output-logs=none # silent
```
### `--profile`
Generate Chrome tracing profile for performance analysis.
```bash
turbo build --profile=profile.json
# open chrome://tracing and load the file
```
### `--verbosity` / `-v`
Control turbo's own log level.
```bash
turbo build -v # verbose
turbo build -vv # more verbose
turbo build -vvv # maximum verbosity
```
## Environment
### `--env-mode`
Control environment variable handling.
```bash
turbo build --env-mode=strict # only declared env vars (default)
turbo build --env-mode=loose # include all env vars in hash
```
## UI
### `--ui`
Select output interface.
```bash
turbo build --ui=tui # interactive terminal UI (default in TTY)
turbo build --ui=stream # streaming logs (default in CI)
```

# Global Options Reference
Options that affect all tasks. Full docs: https://turborepo.dev/docs/reference/configuration
## globalEnv
Environment variables affecting all task hashes.
```json
{
"globalEnv": ["CI", "NODE_ENV", "VERCEL_*"]
}
```
Use for variables that should invalidate all caches when changed.
## globalDependencies
Files that affect all task hashes.
```json
{
"globalDependencies": [
"tsconfig.json",
".env",
"pnpm-lock.yaml"
]
}
```
Lockfile is included by default. Add shared configs here.
## globalPassThroughEnv
Variables available to tasks but not included in hash.
```json
{
"globalPassThroughEnv": ["AWS_SECRET_KEY", "GITHUB_TOKEN"]
}
```
Use for credentials that shouldn't affect cache keys.
## cacheDir
Custom cache location. Default: `node_modules/.cache/turbo`.
```json
{
"cacheDir": ".turbo/cache"
}
```
## daemon
Background process for faster subsequent runs. Default: `true`.
```json
{
"daemon": false
}
```
Disable in CI or when debugging.
## envMode
How unspecified env vars are handled. Default: `"strict"`.
```json
{
"envMode": "strict" // Only specified vars available
// or
"envMode": "loose" // All vars pass through
}
```
Strict mode catches missing env declarations.
## ui
Terminal UI mode. Default: `"stream"`.
```json
{
"ui": "tui" // Interactive terminal UI
// or
"ui": "stream" // Traditional streaming logs
}
```
TUI provides better UX for parallel tasks.
## remoteCache
Configure remote caching.
```json
{
"remoteCache": {
"enabled": true,
"signature": true,
"timeout": 30,
"uploadTimeout": 60
}
}
```
| Option | Default | Description |
| --------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `enabled` | `true` | Enable/disable remote caching |
| `signature` | `false` | Sign artifacts with `TURBO_REMOTE_CACHE_SIGNATURE_KEY` |
| `preflight` | `false` | Send OPTIONS request before cache requests |
| `timeout` | `30` | Timeout in seconds for cache operations |
| `uploadTimeout` | `60` | Timeout in seconds for uploads |
| `apiUrl` | `"https://vercel.com"` | Remote cache API endpoint |
| `loginUrl` | `"https://vercel.com"` | Login endpoint |
| `teamId` | - | Team ID (must start with `team_`) |
| `teamSlug` | - | Team slug for querystring |
See https://turborepo.dev/docs/core-concepts/remote-caching for setup.
## concurrency
Default: `"10"`
Limit parallel task execution.
```json
{
"concurrency": "4" // Max 4 tasks at once
// or
"concurrency": "50%" // 50% of available CPUs
}
```
## futureFlags
Enable experimental features that will become default in future versions.
```json
{
"futureFlags": {
"errorsOnlyShowHash": true
}
}
```
### `errorsOnlyShowHash`
When using `outputLogs: "errors-only"`, show task hashes on start/completion:
- Cache miss: `cache miss, executing <hash> (only logging errors)`
- Cache hit: `cache hit, replaying logs (no errors) <hash>`
## noUpdateNotifier
Disable update notifications when new turbo versions are available.
```json
{
"noUpdateNotifier": true
}
```
## dangerouslyDisablePackageManagerCheck
Bypass the `packageManager` field requirement. Use for incremental migration.
```json
{
"dangerouslyDisablePackageManagerCheck": true
}
```
**Warning**: Unstable lockfiles can cause unpredictable behavior.
## Git Worktree Cache Sharing (Pre-release)
When working in Git worktrees, Turborepo automatically shares local cache between the main worktree and linked worktrees.
**How it works:**
- Detects worktree configuration
- Redirects cache to main worktree's `.turbo/cache`
- Works alongside Remote Cache
**Benefits:**
- Cache hits across branches
- Reduced disk usage
- Faster branch switching
**Disabled by**: Setting explicit `cacheDir` in turbo.json.

# Configuration Gotchas
Common mistakes and how to fix them.
## #1 Root Scripts Not Using `turbo run`
Root `package.json` scripts for turbo tasks MUST use `turbo run`, not direct commands.
```json
// WRONG - bypasses turbo, no parallelization or caching
{
"scripts": {
"build": "bun build",
"dev": "bun dev"
}
}
// CORRECT - delegates to turbo
{
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo run build",
"dev": "turbo run dev"
}
}
```
**Why this matters:** Running `bun build` or `npm run build` at root bypasses Turborepo entirely - no parallelization, no caching, no dependency graph awareness.
## #2 Using `&&` to Chain Turbo Tasks
Don't use `&&` to chain tasks that turbo should orchestrate.
```json
// WRONG - changeset:publish chains turbo task with non-turbo command
{
"scripts": {
"changeset:publish": "bun build && changeset publish"
}
}
// CORRECT - use turbo run, let turbo handle dependencies
{
"scripts": {
"changeset:publish": "turbo run build && changeset publish"
}
}
```
If the second command (`changeset publish`) depends on build outputs, the turbo task should run through turbo to get caching and parallelization benefits.
## #3 Overly Broad globalDependencies
`globalDependencies` affects hash for ALL tasks in ALL packages. Be specific.
```json
// WRONG - affects all hashes
{
"globalDependencies": ["**/.env.*local"]
}
// CORRECT - move to specific tasks that need it
{
"globalDependencies": [".env"],
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env*"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
}
}
}
```
**Why this matters:** `**/.env.*local` matches .env files in ALL packages, causing unnecessary cache invalidation. Instead:
- Use `globalDependencies` only for truly global files (root `.env`)
- Use task-level `inputs` for package-specific .env files with `$TURBO_DEFAULT$` to preserve default behavior
## #4 Repetitive Task Configuration
Look for repeated configuration across tasks that can be collapsed.
```json
// WRONG - repetitive env and inputs across tasks
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"],
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env*"]
},
"test": {
"env": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"],
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env*"]
}
}
}
// BETTER - use globalEnv and globalDependencies
{
"globalEnv": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"],
"globalDependencies": [".env*"],
"tasks": {
"build": {},
"test": {}
}
}
```
**When to use global vs task-level:**
- `globalEnv` / `globalDependencies` - affects ALL tasks, use for truly shared config
- Task-level `env` / `inputs` - use when only specific tasks need it
## #5 Using `../` to Traverse Out of Package in `inputs`
Don't use relative paths like `../` to reference files outside the package. Use `$TURBO_ROOT$` instead.
```json
// WRONG - traversing out of package
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "../shared-config.json"]
}
}
}
// CORRECT - use $TURBO_ROOT$ for repo root
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "$TURBO_ROOT$/shared-config.json"]
}
}
}
```
## #6 MOST COMMON MISTAKE: Creating Root Tasks
**DO NOT create Root Tasks. ALWAYS create package tasks.**
When you need to create a task (build, lint, test, typecheck, etc.):
1. Add the script to **each relevant package's** `package.json`
2. Register the task in root `turbo.json`
3. Root `package.json` only contains `turbo run <task>`
```json
// WRONG - DO NOT DO THIS
// Root package.json with task logic
{
"scripts": {
"build": "cd apps/web && next build && cd ../api && tsc",
"lint": "eslint apps/ packages/",
"test": "vitest"
}
}
// CORRECT - DO THIS
// apps/web/package.json
{ "scripts": { "build": "next build", "lint": "eslint .", "test": "vitest" } }
// apps/api/package.json
{ "scripts": { "build": "tsc", "lint": "eslint .", "test": "vitest" } }
// packages/ui/package.json
{ "scripts": { "build": "tsc", "lint": "eslint .", "test": "vitest" } }
// Root package.json - ONLY delegates
{ "scripts": { "build": "turbo run build", "lint": "turbo run lint", "test": "turbo run test" } }
// turbo.json - register tasks
{
"tasks": {
"build": { "dependsOn": ["^build"], "outputs": ["dist/**"] },
"lint": {},
"test": {}
}
}
```
**Why this matters:**
- Package tasks run in **parallel** across all packages
- Each package's output is cached **individually**
- You can **filter** to specific packages: `turbo run test --filter=web`
Root Tasks (`//#taskname`) defeat all these benefits. Only use them for tasks that truly cannot exist in any package (extremely rare).
## #7 Tasks That Need Parallel Execution + Cache Invalidation
Some tasks can run in parallel (don't need built output from dependencies) but must still invalidate cache when dependency source code changes. Using `dependsOn: ["^taskname"]` forces sequential execution. Using no dependencies breaks cache invalidation.
**Use Transit Nodes for these tasks:**
```json
// WRONG - forces sequential execution (SLOW)
"my-task": {
"dependsOn": ["^my-task"]
}
// ALSO WRONG - no dependency awareness (INCORRECT CACHING)
"my-task": {}
// CORRECT - use Transit Nodes for parallel + correct caching
{
"tasks": {
"transit": { "dependsOn": ["^transit"] },
"my-task": { "dependsOn": ["transit"] }
}
}
```
**Why Transit Nodes work:**
- `transit` creates dependency relationships without matching any actual script
- Tasks that depend on `transit` gain dependency awareness
- Since `transit` completes instantly (no script), tasks run in parallel
- Cache correctly invalidates when dependency source code changes
**How to identify tasks that need this pattern:** Look for tasks that read source files from dependencies but don't need their build outputs.
## Missing outputs for File-Producing Tasks
**Before flagging missing `outputs`, check what the task actually produces:**
1. Read the package's script (e.g., `"build": "tsc"`, `"test": "vitest"`)
2. Determine if it writes files to disk or only outputs to stdout
3. Only flag if the task produces files that should be cached
```json
// WRONG - build produces files but they're not cached
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"]
}
// CORRECT - outputs are cached
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
}
```
No `outputs` key is fine for stdout-only tasks. For file-producing tasks, missing `outputs` means Turbo has nothing to cache.
## Forgetting ^ in dependsOn
```json
// WRONG - looks for "build" in SAME package (infinite loop or missing)
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["build"]
}
// CORRECT - runs dependencies' build first
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"]
}
```
The `^` means "in dependency packages", not "in this package".
## Missing persistent on Dev Tasks
```json
// WRONG - dependent tasks hang waiting for dev to "finish"
"dev": {
"cache": false
}
// CORRECT
"dev": {
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
```
## Package Config Missing extends
```json
// WRONG - packages/web/turbo.json
{
"tasks": {
"build": { "outputs": [".next/**"] }
}
}
// CORRECT
{
"extends": ["//"],
"tasks": {
"build": { "outputs": [".next/**"] }
}
}
```
Without `"extends": ["//"]`, Package Configurations are invalid.
## Root Tasks Need Special Syntax
To run a task defined only in root `package.json`:
```bash
# WRONG
turbo run format
# CORRECT
turbo run //#format
```
And in dependsOn:
```json
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["//#codegen"] // Root package's codegen
}
```
## Overwriting Default Inputs
```json
// WRONG - only watches test files, ignores source changes
"test": {
"inputs": ["tests/**"]
}
// CORRECT - extends defaults, adds test files
"test": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "tests/**"]
}
```
Without `$TURBO_DEFAULT$`, you replace all default file watching.
## Caching Tasks with Side Effects
```json
// WRONG - deploy might be skipped on cache hit
"deploy": {
"dependsOn": ["build"]
}
// CORRECT
"deploy": {
"dependsOn": ["build"],
"cache": false
}
```
Always disable cache for deploy, publish, or mutation tasks.

# Task Configuration Reference
Full docs: https://turborepo.dev/docs/reference/configuration#tasks
## dependsOn
Controls task execution order.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": [
"^build", // Dependencies' build tasks first
"codegen", // Same package's codegen task first
"shared#build" // Specific package's build task
]
}
}
}
```
| Syntax | Meaning |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `^task` | Run `task` in all dependencies first |
| `task` | Run `task` in same package first |
| `pkg#task` | Run specific package's task first |
The `^` prefix is crucial - without it, you're referencing the same package.
### Transit Nodes for Parallel Tasks
For tasks like `lint` and `check-types` that can run in parallel but need dependency-aware caching:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"transit": { "dependsOn": ["^transit"] },
"lint": { "dependsOn": ["transit"] },
"check-types": { "dependsOn": ["transit"] }
}
}
```
**DO NOT use `dependsOn: ["^lint"]`** - this forces sequential execution.
**DO NOT use `dependsOn: []`** - this breaks cache invalidation.
The `transit` task creates dependency relationships without running anything (no matching script), so tasks run in parallel with correct caching.
## outputs
Glob patterns for files to cache. **If omitted, nothing is cached.**
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputs": ["dist/**", "build/**"]
}
}
}
```
**Framework examples:**
```json
// Next.js
"outputs": [".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
// Vite
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
// TypeScript (tsc)
"outputs": ["dist/**", "*.tsbuildinfo"]
// No file outputs (lint, typecheck)
"outputs": []
```
Use `!` prefix to exclude patterns from caching.
## inputs
Files considered when calculating task hash. Defaults to all tracked files in package.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"test": {
"inputs": ["src/**", "tests/**", "vitest.config.ts"]
}
}
}
```
**Special values:**
| Value | Meaning |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `$TURBO_DEFAULT$` | Include default inputs, then add/remove |
| `$TURBO_ROOT$/<path>` | Reference files from repo root |
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": [
"$TURBO_DEFAULT$",
"!README.md",
"$TURBO_ROOT$/tsconfig.base.json"
]
}
}
}
```
## env
Environment variables to include in task hash.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": [
"API_URL",
"NEXT_PUBLIC_*", // Wildcard matching
"!DEBUG" // Exclude from hash
]
}
}
}
```
Variables listed here affect cache hits - changing the value invalidates cache.
## cache
Enable/disable caching for a task. Default: `true`.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"dev": { "cache": false },
"deploy": { "cache": false }
}
}
```
Disable for: dev servers, deploy commands, tasks with side effects.
## persistent
Mark long-running tasks that don't exit. Default: `false`.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"dev": {
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
}
}
```
Required for dev servers - without it, dependent tasks wait forever.
## interactive
Allow task to receive stdin input. Default: `false`.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"login": {
"cache": false,
"interactive": true
}
}
}
```
## outputLogs
Control when logs are shown. Options: `full`, `hash-only`, `new-only`, `errors-only`, `none`.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputLogs": "new-only" // Only show logs on cache miss
}
}
}
```
## with
Run tasks alongside this task. For long-running tasks that need runtime dependencies.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"dev": {
"with": ["api#dev"],
"persistent": true,
"cache": false
}
}
}
```
Unlike `dependsOn`, `with` runs tasks concurrently (not sequentially). Use for dev servers that need other services running.
## interruptible
Allow `turbo watch` to restart the task on changes. Default: `false`.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"dev": {
"persistent": true,
"interruptible": true,
"cache": false
}
}
}
```
Use for dev servers that don't automatically detect dependency changes.
## description (Pre-release)
Human-readable description of the task.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"description": "Compiles the application for production deployment"
}
}
}
```
For documentation only - doesn't affect execution or caching.
## passThroughEnv
Environment variables available at runtime but NOT included in cache hash.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"passThroughEnv": ["AWS_SECRET_KEY", "GITHUB_TOKEN"]
}
}
}
```
**Warning**: Changes to these vars won't cause cache misses. Use `env` if changes should invalidate cache.
## extends (Package Configuration only)
Control task inheritance in Package Configurations.
```json
// packages/ui/turbo.json
{
"extends": ["//"],
"tasks": {
"lint": {
"extends": false // Exclude from this package
}
}
}
```
| Value | Behavior |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `true` (default) | Inherit from root turbo.json |
| `false` | Exclude task from package, or define fresh without inheritance |

# Environment Variable Gotchas
Common mistakes and how to fix them.
## .env Files Must Be in `inputs`
Turbo does NOT read `.env` files. Your framework (Next.js, Vite, etc.) or `dotenv` loads them. But Turbo needs to know when they change.
**Wrong:**
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["DATABASE_URL"]
}
}
}
```
**Right:**
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["DATABASE_URL"],
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env", ".env.local", ".env.production"]
}
}
}
```
## Strict Mode Filters CI Variables
In strict mode, CI provider variables (GITHUB_TOKEN, GITLAB_CI, etc.) are filtered unless explicitly listed.
**Symptom:** Task fails with "authentication required" or "permission denied" in CI.
**Solution:**
```json
{
"globalPassThroughEnv": ["GITHUB_TOKEN", "GITLAB_CI", "CI"]
}
```
## passThroughEnv Doesn't Affect Hash
Variables in `passThroughEnv` are available at runtime but changes WON'T trigger rebuilds.
**Dangerous example:**
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"passThroughEnv": ["API_URL"]
}
}
}
```
If `API_URL` changes from staging to production, Turbo may serve a cached build pointing to the wrong API.
**Use passThroughEnv only for:**
- Auth tokens that don't affect output (SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN)
- CI metadata (GITHUB_RUN_ID)
- Variables consumed after build (deploy credentials)
## Runtime-Created Variables Are Invisible
Turbo captures env vars at startup. Variables created during execution aren't seen.
**Won't work:**
```bash
# In package.json scripts
"build": "export API_URL=$COMPUTED_VALUE && next build"
```
**Solution:** Set vars before invoking turbo:
```bash
API_URL=$COMPUTED_VALUE turbo run build
```
## Different .env Files for Different Environments
If you use `.env.development` and `.env.production`, both should be in inputs.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": [
"$TURBO_DEFAULT$",
".env",
".env.local",
".env.development",
".env.development.local",
".env.production",
".env.production.local"
]
}
}
}
```
## Complete Next.js Example
```json
{
"$schema": "https://turborepo.dev/schema.v2.json",
"globalEnv": ["CI", "NODE_ENV", "VERCEL"],
"globalPassThroughEnv": ["GITHUB_TOKEN", "VERCEL_URL"],
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"env": [
"DATABASE_URL",
"NEXT_PUBLIC_*",
"!NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID"
],
"passThroughEnv": ["SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN"],
"inputs": [
"$TURBO_DEFAULT$",
".env",
".env.local",
".env.production",
".env.production.local"
],
"outputs": [".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
}
}
}
```
This config:
- Hashes DATABASE*URL and NEXT_PUBLIC*\* vars (except analytics)
- Passes through SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN without hashing
- Includes all .env file variants in the hash
- Makes CI tokens available globally

# Environment Modes
Turborepo supports different modes for handling environment variables during task execution.
## Strict Mode (Default)
Only explicitly configured variables are available to tasks.
**Behavior:**
- Tasks only see vars listed in `env`, `globalEnv`, `passThroughEnv`, or `globalPassThroughEnv`
- Unlisted vars are filtered out
- Tasks fail if they require unlisted variables
**Benefits:**
- Guarantees cache correctness
- Prevents accidental dependencies on system vars
- Reproducible builds across machines
```bash
# Explicit (though it's the default)
turbo run build --env-mode=strict
```
## Loose Mode
All system environment variables are available to tasks.
```bash
turbo run build --env-mode=loose
```
**Behavior:**
- Every system env var is passed through
- Only vars in `env`/`globalEnv` affect the hash
- Other vars are available but NOT hashed
**Risks:**
- Cache may restore incorrect results if unhashed vars changed
- "Works on my machine" bugs
- CI vs local environment mismatches
**Use case:** Migrating legacy projects or debugging strict mode issues.
## Framework Inference (Automatic)
Turborepo automatically detects frameworks and includes their conventional env vars.
### Inferred Variables by Framework
| Framework | Pattern |
| ---------------- | ------------------- |
| Next.js | `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` |
| Vite | `VITE_*` |
| Create React App | `REACT_APP_*` |
| Gatsby | `GATSBY_*` |
| Nuxt | `NUXT_*`, `NITRO_*` |
| Expo | `EXPO_PUBLIC_*` |
| Astro | `PUBLIC_*` |
| SvelteKit | `PUBLIC_*` |
| Remix | `REMIX_*` |
| Redwood | `REDWOOD_ENV_*` |
| Sanity | `SANITY_STUDIO_*` |
| Solid | `VITE_*` |
### Disabling Framework Inference
Globally via CLI:
```bash
turbo run build --framework-inference=false
```
Or exclude specific patterns in config:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["!NEXT_PUBLIC_*"]
}
}
}
```
### Why Disable?
- You want explicit control over all env vars
- Framework vars shouldn't bust the cache (e.g., analytics IDs)
- Debugging unexpected cache misses
## Checking Environment Mode
Use `--dry` to see which vars affect each task:
```bash
turbo run build --dry=json | jq '.tasks[].environmentVariables'
```

# Common Filter Patterns
Practical examples for typical monorepo scenarios.
## Single Package
Run task in one package:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=web
turbo run test --filter=@acme/api
```
## Package with Dependencies
Build a package and everything it depends on:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=web...
```
Useful for: ensuring all dependencies are built before the target.
## Package Dependents
Run in all packages that depend on a library:
```bash
turbo run test --filter=...ui
```
Useful for: testing consumers after changing a shared package.
## Dependents Only (Exclude Target)
Test packages that depend on ui, but not ui itself:
```bash
turbo run test --filter=...^ui
```
## Changed Packages
Run only in packages with file changes since last commit:
```bash
turbo run lint --filter=[HEAD^1]
```
Since a specific branch point:
```bash
turbo run lint --filter=[main...HEAD]
```
## Changed + Dependents (PR Builds)
Run in changed packages AND packages that depend on them:
```bash
turbo run build test --filter=...[HEAD^1]
```
Or use the shortcut:
```bash
turbo run build test --affected
```
## Directory-Based
Run in all apps:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=./apps/*
```
Run in specific directories:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=./apps/web --filter=./apps/api
```
## Scope-Based
Run in all packages under a scope:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=@acme/*
```
## Exclusions
Run in all apps except admin:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=./apps/* --filter=!admin
```
Run everywhere except specific packages:
```bash
turbo run lint --filter=!legacy-app --filter=!deprecated-pkg
```
## Complex Combinations
Apps that changed, plus their dependents:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=...[HEAD^1] --filter=./apps/*
```
All packages except docs, but only if changed:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=[main...HEAD] --filter=!docs
```
## Debugging Filters
Use `--dry` to see what would run without executing:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=web... --dry
```
Use `--dry=json` for machine-readable output:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=...[HEAD^1] --dry=json
```
## CI/CD Patterns
PR validation (most common):
```bash
turbo run build test lint --affected
```
Deploy only changed apps:
```bash
turbo run deploy --filter=./apps/* --filter=[main...HEAD]
```
Full rebuild of specific app and deps:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=production-app...
```
