Lerna Bootstrap: Initialize and Manage Your Multi-Package JavaScript Projects

Lerna bootstrap is a command used to initialize a Lerna repository, installing all necessary dependencies and links between packages. Lerna itself is a tool that simplifies managing multiple JavaScript projects with shared dependencies. It allows you to divide your codebase into smaller packages while managing them as a single repository.

When you execute the 'lerna bootstrap' command, Lerna performs the following actions:

1. Installs all dependencies for each package within the repository.
2. Links local packages together, enabling packages to depend on each other without requiring publication to a registry.
3. Creates symbolic links (symlinks) for packages that depend on one another, accelerating development.

In essence, 'lerna bootstrap' streamlines the setup of a Lerna repository, ensuring all packages are correctly installed and interconnected.
