+title: Monorepo
+description: Version multiple packages independently in a single repository.
+---
+
+FerrFlow treats a repository as a monorepo when the config defines more than one package. Each package is versioned independently based on its own git history.
+
+## Package isolation
+
+FerrFlow uses path prefixes to determine which commits belong to which package. Only commits that touch files under `path` (or `sharedPaths`) trigger a release for that package.

+## Package dependencies
+
+Use `dependsOn` to declare that a package depends on another. When a dependency is released, the dependent package automatically receives a patch bump — even if none of its own files changed. This cascades transitively: if `app` depends on `cli` and `cli` depends on `core`, bumping `core` bumps both `cli` and `app`.

+## Git tag format
+
+By default, monorepo tags use the `{name}@v{version}` format:
+
+```
+api@v1.2.0
+site@v0.4.1
+```
+
+Configure this with the `tagTemplate` field:
+
+<div class="ferr-tabs">
+  <div class="ferr-tab" data-label="JSON"><p class="ferr-tab__label">JSON</p><div class="ferr-tab__body"><pre><code class="language-json">{
+  &quot;workspace&quot;: {
+    &quot;tagTemplate&quot;: &quot;{name}@v{version}&quot;
+  }
+}
+</code></pre>
+</div></div>
+  <div class="ferr-tab" data-label="TOML"><p class="ferr-tab__label">TOML</p><div class="ferr-tab__body"><pre><code class="language-toml">[workspace]
+tag_template = &quot;{name}@v{version}&quot;
+</code></pre>
+</div></div>
+  <div class="ferr-tab" data-label="JSON5"><p class="ferr-tab__label">JSON5</p><div class="ferr-tab__body"><pre><code class="language-json5">{
+  workspace: {
+    tagTemplate: &quot;{name}@v{version}&quot;,
+  },
+}
+</code></pre>
+</div></div>
+  <div class="ferr-tab" data-label="YAML"><p class="ferr-tab__label">YAML</p><div class="ferr-tab__body"><pre><code class="language-yaml">workspace:
+  tagTemplate: &quot;{name}@v{version}&quot;
+</code></pre>
+</div></div>
+</div>
+
+For a single-package repo, the default is `v{version}` (no name prefix).
+
+FerrFlow looks for the most recent tag matching the template to determine what commits are new.
+
+## Independent cadences
+
+Packages release independently. In a single `ferrflow release` run:
+
+- `api` may bump from `1.2.0` → `1.3.0` (new `feat:` commit)
+- `site` may bump from `0.4.0` → `0.4.1` (only `fix:` commits)
+- `shared` may not release at all (only `chore:` commits)
+
+## Per-package overrides
+
+Each package can override the workspace-level `versioning` strategy and `tagTemplate`:
+
+<div class="ferr-tabs">
+  <div class="ferr-tab" data-label="JSON"><p class="ferr-tab__label">JSON</p><div class="ferr-tab__body"><pre><code class="language-json">{
+  &quot;workspace&quot;: {
+    &quot;versioning&quot;: &quot;semver&quot;,
+    &quot;tagTemplate&quot;: &quot;{name}@v{version}&quot;
+  },

+
+## CI installation
+
+The recommended way to use FerrFlow in CI is the GitHub Action — no installation step needed:
+
+```yaml title=".github/workflows/release.yml"
+- uses: FerrLabs/ferrflow@v4
+  env:
+    GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
+```
+
+See [GitHub Actions](/docs/ci/github-actions) and [GitLab CI](/docs/ci/gitlab-ci) for complete examples.
+
+## Verify
+
+```bash
+ferrflow --version
+```

+title: Introduction
+description: What FerrFlow is and why it exists.
+---
+
+FerrFlow is a single binary that automates semantic versioning for any repository — monorepo or classic, any language.
+
+It reads your commit history, determines the right version bump, updates your version files, writes a changelog, creates a git tag, and publishes a release. Zero runtime dependencies.

+  <div class="ferr-card"><p class="ferr-card__title">Zero infra</p><div class="ferr-card__body"><p>A single binary with no daemon, no server, no database. Runs wherever your CI runs.</p>
+</div></div>
+</div>
+
+## Why not semantic-release or changesets?
+
+Most versioning tools are coupled to a specific ecosystem or require Node.js to be present in your CI.
+
+| Tool             | Monorepo    | Multi-language | Runtime  |
+| ---------------- | ----------- | -------------- | -------- |
+| semantic-release | via plugins | JS/Node only   | Node.js  |
+| changesets       | manual bump | JS only        | Node.js  |
+| release-please   | limited     | partial        | Node.js  |
+| cargo-release    | no          | Rust only      | Rust     |
+| **FerrFlow**     | **native**  | **any**        | **none** |
+
+FerrFlow ships as a compiled binary. Drop it in any CI environment without installing a runtime. A WASM build (`@ferrflow/wasm`) is also available for browser-side usage.
+
+For side-by-side latency, peak memory and install size against the JS ecosystem release tools, see [Performance](/performance) — numbers refresh on every FerrFlow release.
+
+<aside class="ferr-aside ferr-aside--note"><p class="ferr-aside__title">Heads up</p><div class="ferr-aside__body"><p>FerrFlow is versioning only. Issue tracking, secrets, and AI agents live in separate FerrLabs products.</p>
+</div></aside>
+
+## How it works
+
+1. **Reads commits** since the last git tag for each package
+2. **Determines the bump** from [Conventional Commits](/docs/reference/conventional-commits) (`feat` → minor, `fix` → patch, breaking → major)
+3. **Updates version files** — `Cargo.toml`, `package.json`, `pom.xml`, etc.
+4. **Writes the changelog** in Keep a Changelog format
+5. **Creates a git tag** (`api@v1.2.0`) and pushes
+6. **Publishes a GitHub/GitLab release** with the changelog as release notes
+
+In a monorepo, FerrFlow only releases packages that have changed, and understands shared dependency paths.
+
+## Key features
+
+- **Pre/post-release hooks** — run scripts at every lifecycle stage (bump, commit, publish, failure)
+- **Query commands** — `ferrflow version`, `ferrflow tag`, and `ferrflow status` for CI scripting
+- **Any version file** — Cargo.toml, package.json, pom.xml, build.gradle, Chart.yaml, plain text, and more
+- **Browser support** — `@ferrflow/wasm` brings commit parsing, bump computation, and changelog generation to the browser
