This repository is formed by a set of workspaces. A workspace holds a plugin or a set of plugins based on a specific topic/team. For example, catalog, kubernetes, and TechDocs can be referred to as workspaces. Each plugin belongs to a workspace and workspaces are portable enough to be moved to its own repo if desired.
A workspace has its own instance of backstage which the plugins in that workspace can be installed and configured into for testing purposes.
Changesets have proven to be a reliable method for managing different versions of packages. Each plugin workspace has its own changesets and isolated releases.
When you make changes in your plugins you should run yarn changeset to create
a changeset. This will prompt you to select the packages that have been
modified and add changelog notes. This will be checked as part of the PR.
Whenever a new changeset is introduced to the main, a fresh "Version packages
($workspace_name)" PR is produced. Merging a Version packages PR will trigger
the release of all the plugins in the workspaces (provided changesets have been
added), and also update the CHANGELOG files.
