Building off of Tauri's post [here](https://dev.to/tauri/setting-up-ci-and-cd-for-tauri-48pp) I wanted a concrete example of a CI CD pipeline in action within a monorepo.  So I used Tauri's the [github actions](https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri-action) Tauri provided and made some adjustments for pointing to the correct project folder.

[tauri](https://tauri.studio/) and their excellent CI CD actions 
publish

testing on push
```
name: "test-on-push"
on: [push]

jobs:
  test-tauri:
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      matrix:
        platform: [macos-latest, ubuntu-latest, windows-latest]
    env:
      working-directory: ./tauri-app

    runs-on: ${{ matrix.platform }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: setup node
        uses: actions/setup-node@v1
        with:
          node-version: 16
      - name: install Rust stable
        uses: actions-rs/toolchain@v1
        with:
          toolchain: stable
      - name: install webkit2gtk (ubuntu only)
        if: matrix.platform == 'ubuntu-latest'
        run: |
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install -y webkit2gtk-4.0
      - name: install app dependencies and build it
        run: yarn && yarn build
        working-directory: ${{env.working-directory}}
      - uses: tauri-apps/tauri-action@v0
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        with:
          projectPath: ${{env.working-directory}}

```

publishing on release branch

        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        with:
          tagName: app-v__VERSION__ # the action automatically replaces \_\_VERSION\_\_ with the app version
          releaseName: "App v__VERSION__"
          releaseBody: "See the assets to download this version and install."
          releaseDraft: true
          prerelease: false
          projectPath: ${{env.working-directory}}

```


To full see the full app I set up a [repo](https://github.com/bayswaterpc/monorepo-with-tauri-client).

I'm hoping to build an app with a desktop client, server, and website with online and offline capabilities.

If there's any one out there whose built similar tools would love to get your thoughts on Monorepo vs Multi-repo approaches.
