Why would anyone build with this?

REASON 1

Start a new project that needs more than one app sharing common code and config.

REASON 2

Learn how a Turborepo monorepo is structured before setting one up from scratch.

REASON 3

Use the shared ESLint and TypeScript config packages as a template for your own rules.

Wtf does this do

This repository is a starter template for Turborepo, a tool that helps developers manage multiple related projects inside one shared codebase, known as a monorepo. It was set up using the official create-turbo command and is maintained as an example by the Turborepo team itself, so it shows the default structure rather than a finished product built for a specific purpose. Inside the starter you get two Next.js web applications, called docs and web, plus a shared React component library named @repo/ui that both apps can pull from. There are also two internal packages that hold shared configuration: one for ESLint code linting rules and one for TypeScript settings, so every app and package in the project follows the same formatting and type checking rules. Everything in the project is written in TypeScript. The template comes with commands already wired up for common tasks. You can build every app and package at once with a single command, or build just one piece using a filter flag if you only want to update the docs site or the web app on its own. The same filtering works for running the apps in development mode, so you can work on one app without starting the others. One extra feature worth knowing about is Remote Caching. Turborepo can store the results of previous builds so that if nothing has changed, a build or task can be skipped and served instantly from cache instead of running again. This caching can be shared across different machines and used in continuous integration pipelines, and it requires linking the project to a Vercel account to use the hosted version, though local caching works without any account. Because this is the standard example scaffold rather than a custom application, there is no unique business logic, feature set, or license mentioned. Anyone starting a new project with multiple related apps and shared packages could use this as the base structure, then replace the docs and web apps with their own code while keeping the shared tooling in place.
