For monorepos, use pnpm.

I would love to know why 🙏

It is just superior - faster (due to package cache and smart symlinking) - pnpm catalogs to avoid version conflicts - "workspace:*" protocol is just more explicit & clear - security features like postinstall prevention/delay etc. 👆 things that immediately come to my mind. Just less surprises

I’m curious, do catalogs achieve anything more than I get with pnpm up -r?

It's more about control. In particular in a monorepo you might want to sync certain versions while keeping others dependent per project. It's basically a really nice way to do some sort of hybrid single-version policy in a monorepo setup
