Run Github actions in monorepo

Question

I have a project which contains 2 folder: backend and frontend. In each folder i added the corresponded project, each project has its own package.json. Also in each folder/project i have .github with sett workflow/file.yml where is sett github actions for backend and also for frontend
EX: 1. frontend/.github/workflows/file.yml and 2. backend/.github/workflows/file.yml.backend folder is the root and frontend is located inside it.
Now if i push my changes being in backend folder i trigger only BE github actions, but i also need to run the frontend actions.
Question: Does somebody face this kind of issue and how to run both github actions?

Answer 1

You can run many workflows at same time, as you want.

• You must have a .github/workflows folder, where your actions will be;
• Each file must have a on clause
• Use cd backend and cd frontend to access file on subdirectories during the action
• You can add some pwd && ls to check if you are on right directory

It's enough to run more than on action, for the back and the front.
