[Question] Using lerna with --use-git-version flag

[chinchang]

From the docs (https://github.com/lerna/lerna#--use-git-version):

This allows packages to be distributed via git repos if eg. packages are private and private npm repo is not an option.

Does this also mean that with use-git-version flag lerna should publish the packages on git instead of npm registry? Confused because I found no such code in the publishCommand file.

@chinchang Yes, I believe that's the idea. Check #1033 (comment) for a bit more info.

I really have no idea, I assume --use-git-version folks always use --skip-npm when they call lerna publish, so the git tags get propagated but the registry is never sent a package tarball. I don't altogether understand the use-case, to be honest.

[evocateur]

To be clear, Lerna will never actually do all that complicated git stuff for you. It just modifies the version pins appropriately.
