Just had a really cool use case for the advanced target selection and wanted to share in case it's helpful for others. We wanted to know if changes someone introduced into our monorepo affected code our deployed services depended on so we could coordinate with them about merging it into official releases. We already had our containerized services tagged, so the query ended up looking like
./pants --changed-since=master --changed-dependees=transitive --filter-tag-regex=<our tag here> list
As has been the case for a while, awesome features from the Pants team continue to make our lives easier!
