For Affected Projects
The print-affected and run-many commands can be used to set up your CI to use multiple agents, while still rebuilding and retesting only what is affected.
1
nx affected --target=build # Run the same target for all the projects by the current code change (e.g., current Git branch).
2
nx affected --target=build --parallel --maxParallel=8 # Same but in parallel.
3
# By default, the current code change is defined as a diff between master and HEAD. You can change it as follows:
4
nx affected --target=build --parallel --maxParallel=8 --base=origin/development --head=$CI_BRANCH_NAME
5
# Running affected commands is very common, so Nx comes with a few shortcuts.
6
nx affected:build
7
nx affected:test
8
nx affected:lint
9
nx affected:e2e
10
# Any flags you pass to run-many that aren't Nx specific will be passed down to the builder.
