Currently, when GitHub Triggers are used, every push to the repository triggers a new Deployment - this renders monorepo usage at best inefficient (builds triggered even when changes only impact the frontend) and at worst totally blocking (frontend errors the deployment as not intended to be built).
To resolve this, the ability to define a root directory when using a project from a monorepo must be added.

Hey! We have had directory support since this issue was posted and with Metro we have full monorepo support. Check it here: https://docs.railway.app/railway-metro

Angelo Saraceno: The feature doesn't seem to be fully satisfied yet. Every push to a monorepo GitHub repository still triggers a new deployment for every service regardless of their "Root Directory" configuration.

Moving back to In Progress because our platform does in deed rebuild for subfolders for linked services.
Thanks for the catch Igor!

From Dashboard > "+ New Project" > "Deploy From Repo" screen, could the root directory form field be present so the initial deploy doesn't fail?

Dan Croak: The vast majority of projects don't actually need this so we didn't want to put it upfront and confuse people
We've toyed with the idea of potential autodetection but it's very hairy and a ton more work
Got ideas beyond that?

Angelo Saraceno: I think we can move this still to completed, and create another ticket for "ignore build directories"

Support is live for this and docs have been updated

For ignoring builds, please see this ticket (https://feedback.railway.app/feature-requests/p/ignored-build-step)
