How to import a local git repo in lerna?

Question

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
lerna ERR! Error: Command failed: git rev-parse HEAD
lerna ERR! fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
lerna ERR! Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
lerna ERR! 'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
lerna ERR! 
lerna ERR! HEAD

lerna ERR!     at Promise.resolve.then (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/lerna/node_modules/@lerna/command/index.js:271:24)

How can I import a local repo into the lerna packages folder? (git version 2.17.2 (Apple Git-113))

I found the solution: commit the lerna repo and try again .
