# Add a package to a mono repository

In this part, we are going to add a package to an existing mono-repo.

Open a terminal and go to the packages folder.

### Go to the packages folder

```
cd ~/repos/0000000-demo_mono_repo_app-rubigo/packages
```

### Create a Flutter package

```
fvm flutter create -t package --org com.example --project-name my_package ./my_package
```

### Open/restart Android Studio

Android studio might not detect the new folder. Restarting Android Studio fixes that.

### Commit package

From now on we will use Android Studio to review and commit files.

### Add package as a module

Android Studio => File -> Project Structure => Modules => + => Import Module

Navigate to my_package folder and choose “Open”. Be aware that the initial folder that Android Studio suggests might not be part of your current project.

### Change main.dart to use package

If you change the line _counter++ to the sample here below, the demo app will use the package to add the values. Hot reload also works while you make changes to the implementation in my_package, which is awesome.
