I am trying to use lerna for the first time. When I use:
lerna import /path/to/my/create_react_app
This is the response:
lerna notice cli v3.13.1

How can I import a local repo into the lerna packages folder? (git version 2.17.2 (Apple Git-113))
Select Repos, Files. From the repo drop-down, select Import repository. If the source repo is publicly available, just enter the clone URL of the source repository and a name for your new Git repository.
Lerna is a monorepo manager for JavaScript projects. It helps you take a large codebase and split it into independently deployable packages. Lerna handles every step in the release process — from downloading dependencies, and linking packages together, to testing and publishing updated packages to the NPM registry.
I found the solution: commit the lerna repo and try again .
