Create a new Lerna repo or upgrade an existing repo to the current version of Lerna
$ lerna init
Create a new Lerna repo or upgrade an existing repo to the current version of Lerna.
Lerna assumes the repo has already been initialized with
git init
.
When run, this command will:
- Add
lerna
as adevDependency
inpackage.json
if it doesn't already exist. - Create a
lerna.json
config file to store theversion
number.
Example output on a new git repo:
$ lerna init
lerna info version v2.0.0
lerna info Updating package.json
lerna info Creating lerna.json
lerna success Initialized Lerna files
$ lerna init --independent
This flag tells Lerna to use independent versioning mode.
$ lerna init --exact
By default, lerna init
will use a caret range when adding or updating
the local version of lerna
, just like npm install --save-dev lerna
.
To retain the lerna
1.x behavior of "exact" comparison, pass this flag.
It will configure lerna.json
to enforce exact match for all subsequent executions.
