symlink-workspace

A utility tool for managing symlinks in a Lerna project with Yarn workspaces, designed to streamline local development by ensuring packages are properly linked. Specifically, links to the dist/ folder so you can use publishConfig.directory set to dist/ for advanced cjs/esm publishing, enabling tree-shaking ;)
