-# The Strapi monorepo
-
-Juggling a multimodule project over multiple repos is pretty difficult for contributing.
-
-Strapi follows a monorepo approach, all officially maintained modules are in the same repository-- this one.
-
-Pros:
-- Single lint, build, test and release process.
-- Easy to coordinate changes across modules.
-- Single place to report issues and track milestones.
-- Easier to setup a development environment.
-
-Cons:
-- Codebase looks more intimidating.
-- Repo is bigger in size.
