Usage

nx affected

Install nx globally to invoke the command directly using nx, or use npx nx, yarn nx, or pnpm nx.

Examples

Run custom target for all affected projects:

nx affected -t custom-target

Run tests in parallel:

nx affected -t test --parallel=5

Run lint, test, and build targets for affected projects. Requires Nx v15.4+:

nx affected -t lint test build

Run tests for all the projects affected by changing the index.ts file:

nx affected -t test --files=libs/mylib/src/index.ts

Run tests for all the projects affected by the changes between main and HEAD (e.g., PR):

nx affected -t test --base=main --head=HEAD

Run tests for all the projects affected by the last commit on main:

nx affected -t test --base=main~1 --head=main

Run build for only projects with the tag dotnet:

nx affected -t=build --exclude='*,!tag:dotnet'
