11/22/2020, 5:05 PMI've been wondering, is there any video available to help new people understand how to do monorepo dependency management?
I want to be able to create a new project inside of the monorepo and be able to import that project.
From what I've seen it seems possible, though I can't fully reason through how to make that happen.

What you're trying to do is certainly possible, and indeed a very common use-case.
If it's hard to reason through then that tells me that our documentation needs improvement.
One initial thing to reason about is source roots: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/source-roots

I'd like to add that it would be extremely useful to add a video or set of animations like VScode's documentation to showcase the use of the configurations details inside of an IDE.
Perhaps separate it entirely in the user guide as a tutorial or feature instead of under concepts. I'm slightly biased towards VSCode's docs because of the appeal to the visual nature in me combined with a reduction of nested features.
Saying more than necessary here, though creating a full series in your documentation would be beyond helpful. The getting started is useful, though understanding how to setup a dev workflow is hard to reason though.
To give you some idea, my goal is to create a development workflow this week with the following additions:
1. Create a top-level monorepo with Pants
2. Create a sub-project using a single command that can be imported into other projects. I'd like this sub-project to use
poetryThe goal is to eventually get everything working with
