The Nx affected commands are a powerful way to scale monorepos by only rebuilding and retested the apps and libraries that could be affected by a particular change. This is accomplished by comparing hashes of the files modified in the current branch compared to the base branch which defaults to master
. It's easy to pass in a different branch as a parameter with --base
, however, you can also change this default in the workspace nx.json
.
First, make sure that you have created the new base branch. In this example, we will be using main
as our base branch.
Next, edit the workspace nx.json
. If you do not have the affected
property then you will need to add that first, and then you can customize the base branch.
{
"npmScope": "nxtend",
"affected": {
"defaultBase": "main"
},
...
}
Lastly, this feature is only available in Nx 9.5 or higher. If you are currently on a version of Nx lower than this then I recommend upgrading to the latest version of Nx, or at least the latest version of Nx 9.
Upgrade to latest version:
nx migrate latest
Upgrade to Nx 9.7:
nx migrate @nrwl/workspace@9.7.0
