We built Multi-Repo Workspaces for AI coding

DevSwarm launched Multi-Repo Workspaces, a feature that bundles multiple Git repositories into a single workspace for AI coding agents. The tool allows agents like Claude Code and Codex to make coordinated changes across repositories while keeping each repo independent with its own history and pull requests.

Most production applications aren't monorepos.

A feature often spans the frontend, backend, shared packages, infrastructure, and more. While polyrepos work well for ownership, AI coding tools typically only see one repository at a time.

We wanted to change that.

With Multi-Repo Workspaces in DevSwarm, you can bundle multiple Git repositories into a single workspace while keeping each repository independent with its own history, branches, remotes, CI, and pull requests.

Your AI agent, whether it's Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or another supported agent, gets context across the entire system and can make coordinated changes across repositories. When it's finished, you can review code changes and pull requests from every repository in one central view, leave comments and suggestions, and merge each repository independently.

No monorepo migration. No changes to your existing Git workflow.

I'd love to hear how other teams are handling cross-repository development with AI. Are you using monorepos, polyrepos, or something in between?
