Forking a single package in a monorepo

The trend of using monorepos makes a lot of things easier to manage. However, when you want to fork a single package inside a monorepo, you'll have to chose one of two options:

• Fork the entire monorepo (meaning you get all those extra boilerplate you don't really care about)
• Manually copying the package files into a new git repo (meaning you'll loose all git history and have a lot of work to do when there's a new version of your base package)

The good news: There's a solution for this! And it's actually built in to git.

git subtree

One of the lesser-known (and vaguely documented) features of git is subtree. It's intended for this purpose, working as a great alternative to the criticized submodules. There are very few resources about using this in practice, so here's a guide for this specific use case.

We will use an RHEL9 instance as our server. Additionally, we need to create and attach three 10GB volumes to our instance.

The volume must be in the same Availability Zone as the instance:

Set up and configure our DBMS of choice, MYSQL, to store and manage data. Additionally setup user credentials validation and reset MySQL default users, databases, etc.

sudo apt install -y mysql-server

After installation, it's recommended to purge some insecure default settings and lock down access to the database system. The first thing we should do is set a password for the root password (using mysql_native_password as our default authentication method**)** as by default it has none - a huge security risk.

#Creating your own Gem

1. Run this command in your Terminal. This creates and names all the files you need for your gem. We are going to create a Lorem Ipsum Generator; you can call it whatever you want but seeing as we are creating a Lorem Ipsum generator we'll call it lorem. Read about gem naming conventions.

Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).
