Convert to monorepo

[bmuenzenmeyer]

This is our "Target" for a hackday today.
Wish us luck!

Goals:

• lerna.js | https://github.com/lerna/lerna
• document repeatable pattern to convert existing repos into monorepo
• move patternlab-node (this repo) with history
• move edition-node-gulp with history
• move edition-node with history
• move patternengine-node-mustache
• move patternengine-node-react
• create uikit-default - https://github.com/pattern-lab/uikit-default
  • styleguidekit-mustache-default (history would be great here)
  • styleguidekit-assets-default (history would be great here)
• fix links everywhere
• update installation and contributing docs

Test

• locally linked and runnable pattern lab node

Stretch

• deployment procedures (https://github.com/atlassian/lerna-semantic-release ?)
• move patternengine-node-underscore
• move patternengine-node-handlebars
• move patternengine-node-twig
• move patternengine-node-liquid
• move plugin-node-tab
• move live-server
• move patternlab-node-cli
• move patternengine-node-nunjucks
• move edition-node-grunt

Good luck! I feel there needs to be a Transoformer-style mascot for MONOREPO

// one time, in the repo that will be the master
lerna init --independent --exact 

//move the master repo down into packages 
mv <<files>> packages/<<target/path>>.

// each package
lerna import <<path/to/local/git/repo>> --flatten

without flatten, any conflicts in the target repo would cause a rollback.

experiment with what we want to hoist up like .editorconfig, .prettierrc, etc

Huge success! We do still need to figure out how editions get installed, since you can’t just git clone ‘me anymore. But our sense is that the CLI should do this.

Omitted edition-node-grunt - it's obsolete unless someone wants to take it up.

pattern-lab/edition-node-grunt#31
