[FEATURE] make affected.defaultBase configurable in nx.json about aws-pdk HOT 1 CLOSED

Hey, thanks for the feature request!

I can definitely see it being useful to set the affected branch :) defaultReleaseBranch could be a good candidate, though it could also be added to the nxConfig option so it's colocated with other NX options. I'll discuss with dimecha@ when he's back!

As a workaround you can actually customise your nx.json (or other projen managed files) prior to the call to synth(). For example:

const monorepo = new NxMonorepoProject({
  ...
});

monorepo.tryFindObjectFile('nx.json')!.addOverride('affected.defaultBase', 'my-branch');

monorepo.synth();

Hope that helps!

Thanks,
Jack
