Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am always frustrated when using better-auth in monorepo cause the cli doesn't recognise the auth.ts file which is annoying

Describe the solution you'd like
Please make the CLI support schema generation in monorepos

Same problem, I 'm using nx and the migration command never found the configuration file, my workaround is just copy the configuration file to the root of my project and run the migration without --config option.
You don't need to implement all the plugins requirements, just import and use them just to let the cli know what you need.

pnpx @better-auth/cli generate --config ./src/auth.ts --output ../db/src/schema/auth.ts

You can specify where config file is located with --config flag as in example above.

This solution from @exhaled worked for me. However, I needed to add a .env file with DATABASE_URL in the auth package folder to fix the error [Better Auth]: Couldn't read your auth config. Error: Missing DATABASE_URL
