### 2. Pipeline Concepts
| Concept | Description |
| -------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **dependsOn** | Tasks that must complete first |
| **cache** | Whether to cache outputs |
| **outputs** | Files to cache |
| **inputs** | Files that affect cache key |
| **persistent** | Long-running tasks (dev servers) |
## Templates
### Template 1: turbo.json Configuration
```json
{
"$schema": "https://turbo.build/schema.json",
"globalDependencies": [".env", ".env.local"],
"globalEnv": ["NODE_ENV", "VERCEL_URL"],
"pipeline": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"],
"env": ["API_URL", "NEXT_PUBLIC_*"]
},
"test": {
"dependsOn": ["build"],
"outputs": ["coverage/**"],
"inputs": ["src/**/*.tsx", "src/**/*.ts", "test/**/*.ts"]
},
"lint": {
"outputs": [],
"cache": true
},
"typecheck": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": []
},
"dev": {
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
},
"clean": {
"cache": false
}
}
}
```
### Template 2: Package-Specific Pipeline
```json
// apps/web/turbo.json
{
"$schema": "https://turbo.build/schema.json",
"extends": ["//"],
"pipeline": {
"build": {
"outputs": [".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"],
