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, versioning, and publishing packages, as well as managing dependencies between them.
Compared to manual management of multiple packages, Lerna simplifies the process by automating tasks like versioning and dependency management. It helps in maintaining consistency across packages and streamlining the release process. Lerna is actively maintained and widely used in the JavaScript community for managing monorepos.
