About:
Bit is a distributed component-driven development tool that enables teams to build, version, and manage reusable UI components independently. It facilitates seamless collaboration by allowing components to be shared across projects and organizations. This streamlines development workflows and ensures consistency across applications.

Key Features:

Component composition and isolation
Distributed version control for components
Automatic dependency management
Remote scope hosting and collaboration
Build and test isolation

Use Cases:

Building a shared component library across multiple micro-frontends
Collaborating on UI components between separate teams
Versioning and independently deploying individual components

Alternatives:

Lerna – Lerna manages monorepos but lacks Bit's granular component versioning and remote hosting capabilities.
Nx – Nx focuses on full monorepo tooling and build orchestration, whereas Bit specializes in component composition and distribution.
