Usage

Here, I have pasted the output of --help because I am lazy:

sync-monorepo-packages [file..]

Synchronize files and metadata across packages in a monorepo

Positionals:
  file  One or more source files to sync                                [string]

Options:
      --help             Show help                                     [boolean]

  -D, --dry-run          Do not sync; print what would have changed (implies
                         --verbose)                                    [boolean]

  --field author -s ./foo/package.json      ./foo/package.json to packages found
                                            in lerna.json
  sync-monorepo-packages --packages ./foo   Using default fields, show what

                                            in current dir to packages in ./foo;

  sync-monorepo-packages --no-package-json  Sync ./README.md to each package

Notes

  • If there are other fields which would make sense to copy as a default, please suggest!
  • Use at your own risk! --dry-run is your friend
  • When copying files, directories may be created relative to the dirpath of lerna.json or package.json. For example, if you want to sync foo/bar.md to each package, packages/*/foo/bar.md will be the result. This may not work properly with explicitly-specified package directories! Use from project root to be sure.
  • There is an API that you can use. Go for it!
