prune

Generate a partial monorepo for a target package. The output will be placed into a directory named out containing the following:

• The full source code of all internal packages needed to build the target.
• A pruned lockfile containing the subset of the original lockfile needed to build the target.
• A copy of the root package.json.

turbo prune [package]

Example

Starting with a repository with the following structure:

Run turbo prune frontend to generate a pruned workspace for the frontend application in an out directory:

Options

--docker

Defaults to false.

Alter the output directory to make it easier to use with Docker best practices and layer caching. The directory will contain:

• A folder named json with the pruned workspace's package.json files.
• A folder named full with the pruned workspace's full source code for the internal packages needed to build the target.
• A pruned lockfile containing the subset of the original lockfile needed to build the target.

Using the same example from above, running turbo prune frontend --docker will generate the following:

--out-dir <path>

Defaults to ./out.

Customize the directory the pruned output is generated in.
