lerna: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Lerna is a tool that optimizes the workflow around managing multi-package repositories with git and npm. It allows you to manage multiple packages within a single repository, making it easier to develop and publish related packages together. Lerna provides commands for bootstrapping new packages, linking dependencies, running scripts across packages, and versioning packages.
Compared to manually managing multiple packages, Lerna streamlines the process by automating tasks like versioning, publishing, and managing dependencies. It helps maintain consistency and efficiency in large-scale projects with multiple interconnected packages.
