integrations, Percy API communication, DOM serialization, asset discovery, etc.

- [`@percy/core`](./packages/core#readme) - performs snapshot asset discovery and uploading
- [`@percy/client`](./packages/client#readme) - handles communicating with the Percy API
- [`@percy/dom`](./packages/dom#readme) - serializes DOM snapshots
- [`@percy/env`](./packages/env#readme) - captures CI build environment variables
- [`@percy/config`](./packages/config#readme) - loads Percy configuration files
- [`@percy/logger`](./packages/logger#readme) - common logger used throughout the CLI
- [`@percy/sdk-utils`](./packages/sdk-utils#readme) - shared helpers for JavaScript SDKs

## Developing

This project is built with [lerna](https://lerna.js.org/). The core libraries and CLI plugins are
located in [./packages](./packages). Run `yarn` to install dependencies after cloning the repo and
use the following scripts for various development tasks:

- `yarn build` - build all packages
- `yarn build:watch` - build and watch all packages in parallel
- `yarn clean` - clean up build and coverage output
- `yarn lint` - lint all packages
- `yarn readme` - generate cli commands readme usage
- `yarn test` - run all tests, one package after another
- `yarn test:coverage` - run all tests with coverage, one package after another
- `yarn global:link` - links all packages being developed as global.
    - requires `yarn build` to be run before consuming.
    - we can then consume this package using
        `yarn link @percy/[core|cli..]`
    - **Note**: linking is only required once, subsequent changes for development requires running build command. 
    
- `yarn global:unlink` - unlinks all packages globally

Individual package scripts can be invoked using yarn's
[workspace](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/workspace/) command. For example:

```sh-session
$ yarn workspace @percy/core test
```
