Monorepo Workspaces

Critiq supports monorepos by letting you open a focused workspace within a larger repository. Workspaces keep the file explorer scoped to a subfolder while still letting you review changes across the entire repo.

Adding a Workspace

  1. Open the repository selection window and add the repository root.
  2. In the repository picker, click the "+" button next to the repo to add a workspace.
  3. Select the workspace folder (for example: packages/frontend).
  4. Optionally set a display name for the workspace.

Workspace Behavior

  • The file explorer shows only the workspace subfolder.
  • Branch comparisons and PR reviews list all changed files, grouped by workspace vs outside the workspace.
  • The Changes list and commit file lists keep the same workspace/outside grouping.
  • Language servers and symbol indexing run from the workspace root for accurate monorepo intelligence.
  • Conflict resolution covers the entire repository.
