separating commit messages between modules of a monorepo

Question

I have a fullstack project like this:

myProject
    packages
        myProjectCommon
        myProjectFrontEndApp1
        myProjectFrontEndApp2
        myProjectBackEnd

I use Lerna so that I can use myProjectCommon as an internal dependency.

If I decide to do a monorepo, I would do something like this:

myProject
.git
    packages
        myProjectCommon
        myProjectFrontEndApp1
        myProjectFrontEndApp2
        myProjectBackEnd

A major problem that I see with this, is that I will be mixing the commit history of all my packages together.

Is this configuration, is there a tool that would allow me to look at the commit history for a particular package ?

Or is the best solution to do separate repos for each package, and use them as git submodules like this :

myProject
.git
.gitmodules
    packages
        myProjectCommon
            .git
        myProjectFrontEndApp1
            .git
        myProjectFrontEndApp2
            .git
        myProjectBackEnd
            .git

Answer 1

git log <glob> will work. For example: git log packages/myProjectBackEnd will show only the commits changing files in that module
