Sherif is an opinionated linter designed specifically for JavaScript and TypeScript monorepos. Rather than analysing individual source-code expressions, it focuses on the structure and consistency of packages across a workspace.
The software is designed to work without an initial configuration file and supports projects managed with pnpm, npm, Yarn and Bun. It does not require node_modules to be installed merely to inspect a workspace, which helps keep checks lightweight and makes it useful in continuous integration environments.
Sherif examines package metadata and workspace definitions to identify inconsistencies that are easy to introduce as a monorepo grows. Configuration can be placed in the root package.json when projects need to modify the defaults, ignore particular packages or dependencies, or disable selected rules.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Checks JavaScript and TypeScript monorepos for consistency problems.
- Works with pnpm, npm, Yarn and Bun workspaces.

- Checks related dependencies that should use matching versions.
- Identifies empty dependency sections in package manifests.
- Detects workspace paths that do not correspond to packages.
- Checks packages for missing
package.jsonfiles. - Verifies appropriate dependency placement in private packages.
- Checks that dependency entries are ordered consistently.
- Can automatically fix many reported problems.
- Lets users ignore individual rules, packages and dependencies.
- Supports configurable failure on warnings for continuous integration.
- Can store configuration in the root
