Create a new project

For a simple project, use either Pkg.generate:

Pkg.activate("MyProject")
Pkg.add("Example") # Add dependencies

or the package manager's interactive mode:

pkg> generate MyProject
pkg> activate MyProject
pkg> add Example # Add dependencies

For a complete package with testing, CI/CD, and license files, you can use PkgTemplates.jl:

using Pkg
Pkg.add("PkgTemplates")
using PkgTemplates

# Interactive template creation
Template(interactive=true)("MyPkg")

Activate Julia project

To start the Julia REPL with the project environment activated, use:

cd MyProject
julia --project=.

or after starting the REPL, activate the project:

cd MyProject
julia

pkg> activate .
