This is to prevent `npx` from prematurely expanding the arguments. For example: ```sh $ npx lerna run --scope="toolbar-*" test $ npx lerna run --scope="package-{1,2,5}" test ``` ### `--ignore ` Exclude packages with names matching the given glob. ```sh $ lerna exec --ignore "package-{1,2,5}" -- ls -la $ lerna run --ignore package-1 test $ lerna run --ignore "package-@(1|2)" --ignore package-3 lint ``` More examples of filtering can be found [here](https://github.com/lerna/lerna/blob/c0a750e0f482c16dda2f922f235861283efbe94d/commands/list/__tests__/list-command.test.js#L305-L356). ### `--no-private` Exclude private packages. They are included by default. ### `--since [ref]` Only include packages that have been changed since the specified `ref`. If no ref is passed, it defaults to the most-recent tag. ```sh # List the contents of packages that have changed since the latest tag $ lerna exec --since -- ls -la # Run the tests for all packages that have changed since `main` $ lerna run test --since main # List all packages that have changed since `some-branch` $ lerna ls --since some-branch ``` _This can be particularly useful when used in CI, if you can obtain the target branch a PR will be going into, because you can use that as the `ref` to the `--since` option. This works well for PRs going into the default branch as well as feature branches._ ### `--exclude-dependents` Exclude all transitive dependents when running a command with `--since`, overriding the default "changed" algorithm. This flag has no effect without `--since`, and will throw an error in that case. ### `--include-dependents` Include all transitive dependents when running a command regardless of `--scope`, `--ignore`, or `--since`. ```sh # example with lerna watch $ lerna watch --scope=my-package-1 --include-dependents -- lerna run build --stream --scope=\$LERNA_PACKAGE_NAME --include-dependents ``` ### `--include-dependencies` Include all transitive dependencies when running a command regardless of `--scope`, `--ignore`, or `--since`. Used in combination with any command that accepts `--scope` (`ls`, `run`, `exec`, `watch`). Ensures that all dependencies (and dev dependencies) of any scoped packages (either through `--scope` or `--ignore`) are operated on as well. > Note: This will override the `--scope` and `--ignore` flags. This is useful for situations where you want to "set up" a single package that relies on other packages being set up. ```sh # example with lerna watch, watch only package "package-4" and its dependencies and run the test script for the package that changed $ lerna watch --scope="package-4" --include-dependencies -- lerna run test --scope=\$LERNA_PACKAGE_NAME ``` ### `--include-merged-tags` ```sh $ lerna exec --since --include-merged-tags -- ls -la ``` Include tags from merged branches when running a command with `--since`. This is only useful if you do a lot of publishing from feature branches, which is not generally recommended. --- _Source: https://npm.io/package/@lerna-lite/core · Machine-readable twin of the npm.io package page.
