I'm building a monorepo which uses pnpm but I'm deploying each app separately with Github Actions, however, I'm trying to deploy from the CLI just to test if everything works fine, but I get this error:
11 3.464 npm ERR! Unsupported URL Type "workspace:": workspace:*
Which is of course because I'm using dependencies from a monorepo, which according to documentation, Nixpack should already use pnpm if there's a pnpm lockfile present, which is but is not taken into account.
I'm also curious if I should deploy my app by linking my Github repository and how can I link every dependency as there's almost 0 information, tutorials, documentation on how to deploy a monorepo which includes packages to share code across apps such as Turborepo

The high level overview is -
- Make sure you have specific build and start commands for all apps, E.g build:api and start:api
- Deploy your project to Railway with your repo as the source and the root directory left as the default if /
- For each service you will need a separate Railway service
- In each service you would need to specify the applicable build and start commands in the service settings
