Set up a Julia package development environment by activating the current directory with Pkg, linking local packages in development mode, and integrating Revise.jl to automatically reload code changes during iterative development.

The best way to manage local Julia packages is by adding them in development mode using Pkg. This links the local package directory directly, enabling efficient iteration without reinstalling the package after every modification.

Revise.jl requires your local Julia package to be added in development mode within an active project environment. Properly configuring the Pkg environment ensures Revise.jl can track files and execute live code reloading successfully.

Yes, you can use Pkg and Revise.jl to streamline iterative Julia package creation. Pkg handles environment activation and package linking, while Revise.jl provides the live code reloading needed for efficient development cycles.

You need to activate a specific directory as a Julia development environment when starting a new package or maintaining an existing one. This isolates dependencies and enables local package linking for iterative development.

Yes, this Julia package development workflow supports structured logging for debugging. While Pkg and Revise.jl manage the environment and code reloading, structured logging can be implemented within your package to improve debugging efficiency.
