# Kibana monorepo packages
Currently Kibana works as a monorepo composed by a core, plugins and packages. The latest are located in a folder called `packages` and are pieces of software that composes a set of features that can be isolated and reused across the entire repository. They are also supposed to be able to imported just like any other `node_module`.
Previously we relied solely on `@kbn/pm` to manage the development tools of those packages, but we are now in the middle of migrating those responsibilities into Bazel. Every package already migrated will contain in its root folder a `BUILD.bazel` file and other `build` and `watching` strategies should be used.
Remember that any time you need to make sure the monorepo is ready to be used just run:
```bash
yarn kbn bootstrap
```


## Building bazel packages

Bazel packages are built as a whole for now. You can use:
```bash
yarn kbn bootstrap
```


## Watching bazel packages

Bazel packages are watched as a whole for now. You can use:
```bash
yarn kbn watch
```
