About Nx
Nx is a build system for monorepos. It caches task results so work that has already been done is not repeated, and it orchestrates tasks across the projects in a repository to speed up builds and continuous integration.
It is aimed at teams keeping many applications and libraries in one repository, and the project also positions its tooling for use by AI coding agents. It runs as a command-line tool inside your repository.
