[Suggestion] npm-esque "scripts" e.g. prebootstrap, postbootstrap

[AshCoolman]

It would be nice to have something like npm scripts

I can't see anything in the docs/issues for this explicitly

Why not use npm scripts?

Sometimes the npm toolchain isn't enough for local development (e.g. symlinks in react-native)

Advantages

• More flexibility (local dev, ci envs)
• A _Right place_™ for lifecycle logic

Disadvantages

• Beyond remit of mono repo orchestration & publishing?
• Assuming things play nice with npm simplifies the future

[evocateur]

There's nothing stopping folks from writing in their root package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "prebootstrap": "do thing",
    "bootstrap": "lerna bootstrap",
    "postbootstrap": "do other thing"
  }

That will work with npm run bootstrap out of the box.

I'd rather focus on a cogent plugin API than rewrite npm scripts, if that makes sense?
