I am following the git flow model. feature->develop->master.

I am also using lerna to manage multiple packages in the same repo under the packages/ directory. as I have 5 packages.

the problem is the following: what if develop branch contains updates about 2 packages. This way, when I merge to master, I am not sure what tag to create. package1-v1.0.1 or package2-v1.0.1 or what exactly ?

gitlab gitlab-ci github git

You would need tags without mention of the specific package instance:

v1.0.1

That unique tag would reference a merge commit in which you can see which packages were included.
But since your project manages multiple packages, you tag should simply reference the project (as a whole) progression. Not individual packages, since one or several ones can be included at any time in those merges.
