![]() ![]() Performing actions on multiple repositories It’s like having a personalized dashboard that simplifies his initial engagement with the project. From this same unified interface, Riley can pull or fetch updates, open repositories in GitKraken Client or an external editor, and find their location in his local filesystem. With one click, he can clone all the required repositories. Instead of manually searching, copying, and pasting clone URLs, GitKraken Workspaces paves a more direct route for Riley. Even with the GitHub integration in GitKraken Client, without using Workspaces, Riley would need to search for and clone each repo separately - a challenging and time-consuming task for a new team member. Handling Repositories - The Power of Batch Cloning: Ordinarily, Riley would need to identify the relevant repos to clone, locate them individually in GitHub (or another platform), retrieve each clone URL, and manually run clone commands for each in a terminal. Example GitKraken Workspace showing all the added reposĪdding a new team member to the Shared GitKraken Workspace Once Riley is invited to the team’s Workspace, he downloads GitKraken Client (if not installed already) logs in, and finds an organized, ready-to-use hub of resources waiting for him. Jumping into an Established Workspace: Since the rest of the team has been working in the shared Cloud Workspace, the preparation phase has already been completed - all relevant repositories that Riley needs to access have been grouped logically, and, if needed, multiple Workspaces have been created and configured by project or team. This is where GitKraken Workspaces shine. The first challenge? Onboarding Riley onto your multi-repo project as efficiently as possible. Imagine the scenario: you’re a team lead, and you’ve just welcomed a new developer, Riley, to your team. Streamlining Developer Onboarding with GitKraken Workspaces Now that we’ve laid the groundwork on how GitKraken Workspaces can ease the onboarding process in a multi-repo setup, let’s dive deeper and see it in action. This simplification reduces onboarding time, boosts productivity, and helps developers like Aisha get up to speed quickly. ![]() This might seem overwhelming, but GitKraken Workspaces can simplify this journey, turning potential chaos into a clear process.Īs you’ll see in the sections below, Workspaces consolidate the various project components from platforms like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, into an easy-to-navigate format. This structure promotes an organized, modular approach to development that boosts code management and flexibility.Ĭonsider Aisha, a new team member navigating the maze of repositories, each with unique instructions, dependencies, coding conventions, and an array of issues and PRs to keep track of. In a multi-repo setup, these challenges are amplified, but this is also where its strategic advantages lie. ![]() The steep learning curve involves grasping the codebase, the project’s architecture, and the complex web of repositories and their dependencies. Joining a new project can be a daunting task for developers. ![]() Unpacking Developer Onboarding in a Multi-Repo Landscape We’ll be uncovering the various workflows and use cases where GitKraken Workspaces can be beneficial, kicking things off with how it can simplify the process of onboarding developers. So, no matter where you land on the mono-repo vs multi-repo discussion, come along with us in this series. GitKraken Workspaces can still help improve your development process, regardless of your repository setup. Whether due to team decisions or project requirements, you might find yourself in a mono-repo environment. Keep in mind, though, that we understand some developers don’t get to choose their repository structure. Why? Because we believe that when equipped with tools like GitKraken Workspaces, multi-repos can enhance your codebase management in ways mono-repos can’t. While we respect all perspectives, in this series, we’re leaning into multi-repos. We dug into this topic in our latest ebook, finding supporters for both strategies across various developer communities. In the backdrop of our discussions is the ongoing debate that comes up often in software development: the choice between mono-repo and multi-repo structures. Setting the Stage: Onboarding, Multi-Repos, and GitKraken Workspaces This article was originally published on. Our goal is to show you practical ways to make routine tasks faster and simpler, starting today with a scenario every development team encounters (and needs to get right): onboarding a new developer. This story is part of our Everyday Use Case series where we dive into some of the real-world workflows for GitKraken Workspaces. ![]()
