A ton of work remaining here, pushing so I can preview things rendered. Here's the [latest rendered documentation](https://astral-sh.github.io/uv/).

Warning: This documentation refers to experimental features that may change.
Workspaces
Workspaces help organize large codebases by splitting them into multiple packages with independent dependencies.
When using the uv pip
interface, workspace dependencies behave like automatic editable path
dependencies. Using the uv
project interface, all of the workspace packages are locked together.
uv run
installs only the current package (unless overridden with --package
) and its workspace and
non-workspace dependencies.
Configuration
A workspace can be created by adding a tool.uv.workspace
to a pyproject.toml that is the workspace
root. This table contains members
(mandatory) and exclude
(optional), with lists of globs of
directories:
[tool.uv.workspace]
members = ["packages/*", "examples/*"]
exclude = ["example/excluded_example"]
If tool.uv.sources
is defined in the workspace root, it applies to all packages, unless
overridden in the tool.uv.sources
of a specific project.
Common usage
There a two main usage patterns: A root package and helpers, and the flat workspace. The root
workspace layout defines one main package in the root of the repository, with helper packages in
packages
. In the flat layout, all packages are in the packages
directory, and the root
pyproject.toml
defines a so-called virtual workspace.
Root package and helpers: In this layout albatross/pyproject.toml
has both a project
section and
a tool.uv.workspace
section.

Flat workspace: In this layout albatross/pyproject.toml
has only a tool.uv.workspace
section,
but no project
.
