Import a package into the monorepo with commit history
$ lerna import <path-to-external-repository>Import the package at <path-to-external-repository>, with commit history,
into packages/<directory-name>. Original commit authors, dates and messages
are preserved. Commits are applied to the current branch.
This is useful for gathering pre-existing standalone packages into a Lerna
repo. Each commit is modified to make changes relative to the package
directory. So, for example, the commit that added package.json will
instead add packages/<directory-name>/package.json.
When importing repositories with merge commits with conflicts, the import command will fail trying to apply all commits. The user can use this flag to ask for import of "flat" history, i.e. with each merge commit as a single change the merge introduced.
