Description

Description

rtk rewrite matches npx turbo <cmd> but not bare turbo <cmd>. In monorepos using Turborepo, turbo is typically installed globally or via npx -g, so bare invocations are common.

Reproduction

# Matches:
rtk rewrite "npx turbo tsc"    # -> rtk npx turbo tsc ✓

# Doesn't match:
rtk rewrite "turbo tsc"        # exit 1 ✗
rtk rewrite "turbo lint"       # exit 1 ✗  
rtk rewrite "turbo run tsc"    # exit 1 ✗
rtk rewrite "turbo dev"        # exit 1 ✗

Impact

In my monorepo, ~69 turbo commands in the last 30 days went unmatched.

Suggested fix

Add turbo as a rewrite target alongside npx turbo, mapping to rtk npx turbo or a dedicated rtk turbo.

Environment

  • rtk 0.28.2
  • macOS Darwin 25.3.0

Research direction
The issue clearly describes the problem and suggests adding 'turbo' as a rewrite target alongside 'npx turbo'. The repository is a Rust CLI tool; the rewrite logic is likely in a module such as `src/rewrite.rs`. Examine how `npx turbo` is currently matched and extend the pattern to also match bare `turbo` commands. Review any existing tests for `npx turbo` to ensure parity. The contributor should run the test suite and add test cases for the new patterns.
