Scaling Git for Large Teams

Working with Git in a small team is straightforward. But what happens when your project grows to hundreds or thousands of developers, or your repository becomes massive?

This lesson explores strategies and best practices to manage Git repositories and workflows effectively in large, distributed development teams.

A key decision for large teams is choosing between a monorepo (one giant repository for all projects) or polyrepos (many smaller, distinct repositories).

• Monorepos: Centralized codebase, easier cross-project refactoring.
• Polyrepos: Decoupled projects, smaller clones, independent release cycles.

Each has its own scaling challenges and benefits for Git.
