PkgUtils

Some small utilities to help Julia package users and authors. This package is basically a smorgasbord of code that others have submitted and I could never have written myself. https://github.com/ianshmean and https://github.com/harryscholes also provided lots of emotional support.

Environments

• manifest!"..." creates and activates a throwaway environment based on the contents of a Manifest.toml.
• project!"..." creates and activates a throwaway environment based on the contents of a Project.toml.

Thanks to https://github.com/christopher-DG and https://github.com/oxinabox for this feature.

Dependencies and Dependents

• get_dependents("MyPackage", n = 1) returns n-th order dependents of MyPackage (in the General registry.)

• get_dependencies("SomePackage", n = 1) returns n-th order dependencies of SomePackage.

• get_latest_version("SomePackage") will get the latest version of that package.

Thanks to https://github.com/sbromberger for most of this code.

Snapshot

• snapshot!() will save a copy of your current project and manifest file in the relevant environments/ folder.

• undo!() will revert the current project and manifest to the most recent snapshot.
