turbo scan

Enable the fastest defaults for your Turborepo with one, interactive command.

You'll be taken through a short series of steps to enable the fastest settings for your Turborepo while you're working locally. These optimizations include:

  • Git FS Monitor: turbo leans on Git to do file change discovery. Since we have to wait for git to tell us about changes, we can use Git's built-in filesystem monitor (opens in a new tab) to get those notifications sooner.
  • Turbo Daemon: Turborepo has a daemon to do work for optimistically understanding your repository in the background. By doing the shared, common work that turbo will need to do when you run your tasks beforehand, we can make turbo much faster.
  • Remote Caching: While Turborepo can cache your work locally, it can also share a cache across all of your machines. Enabling Remote Caching makes your caching multiplayer, ensuring that you, your teammates, and your CI machines, never do the same work twice.
  • Check turbo version: We're always working towards making turbo better. To ensure you are using the latest version of Turborepo, we'll check your version and remind you to install latest if you aren't using it yet.
  • Check for Turborepo LSP: If you are using Turborepo LSP, we'll check if it's running and remind you to start it if it's not.

LSP

Visit the VSCode Extension Marketplace (opens in a new tab) and install the Turborepo LSP extension for your code editor.

Git FS Monitor

The Git FS Monitor is a feature that allows Git to notify turbo about file changes faster. This can make turbo faster by reducing the time it takes to discover file changes. We'll enable this feature for you. It does this by speeding up git status which is used by turbo to discover file changes.
