title: "Set Up Monorepo Support"
description: Manage multiple projects in a single repository with isolated artifacts
sidebar:
order: 8
---
BMad Method supports working in monorepo environments where multiple projects share a single repository. This allows you to centralize methodology files while keeping project artifacts isolated and organized.
:::note[Prerequisites]
- BMad Method v6.0.1+
- A repository containing multiple projects
:::
## Why Use Monorepo Support?
In a standard setup, BMad expects one project per repository. In a monorepo, you might have `apps/frontend`, `apps/backend`, and `packages/shared`. Without monorepo support, BMad's artifacts (plans, architecture, stories) would be mixed or require installing BMad in every sub-directory.
Monorepo support allows you to:
- **Centralize Methodology**: Install BMad once at the root based on your team's process.
- **Isolate Artifacts**: Automatically route outputs to project-specific folders (e.g., `_bmad-output/frontend/`).
- **Context Switch Easily**: Switch between projects without reinstalling or reconfiguring.
## Project Structure
When monorepo support is active, the structure changes slightly to accommodate multiple projects:
```
monorepo-root/
├── _bmad/ # Methodology (installed core & modules)
│ └── .current_project # Context marker (e.g., "app-alpha")
├── _bmad-output/ # Unified output directory
│ ├── app-alpha/ # Sub-project artifacts
│ │ ├── planning-artifacts/
│ │ └── implementation-artifacts/
│ └── app-beta/ # Sub-project artifacts
│ └── planning-artifacts/
├── apps/ # Actual source code
│ ├── app-alpha/
│ └── app-beta/
└── package.json
```
## How It Works
### Context Injection
Core and BMM workflows automatically check for the existence of `_bmad/.current_project`.
- **If found**: It reads the content (e.g., "app-alpha") and overrides the `output_folder` to `_bmad-output/app-alpha`.
- **If not found**: It behaves like a standard single-project installation, outputting to `_bmad-output` root.
### The /set-project Command
You can easily manage the active project context using the `/set-project` workflow.
**To set a context:**
1. Run `/set-project` in your chat.
2. Select "Set Project Context".
3. Enter the name of your project (e.g., `frontend`, `backend`, `mobile-app`).
**To clear context (return to single-project mode):**
1. Run `/set-project`.
2. Select "Clear Project Context".
### Inline Override
You can temporarily override the project context for a specific command without changing the global `.current_project` state. This is useful for one-off tasks in a different project.
Use the `#project:` syntax (or `#p:` for short) anywhere in your prompt:
```bash
# Full syntax
/create-prd #project:myproject_name
# Short alias
/create-story #p:frontend
```
**Note:** The inline override takes precedence over the `.current_project` file. If no project is specified via `#` or `.current_project`, BMad defaults to the root `_bmad-output` folder.
