> [@Separate "Dev" packages in Project.toml](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/separate-dev-packages-in-project-toml/63143):

> When creating a package, I often use dependencies that are purely for development and have nothing to do with my package’s functionality (e.g. [Revise.jl](https://timholy.github.io/Revise.jl/stable/), [Debugger.jl](https://github.com/JuliaDebug/Debugger.jl), [Infiltrator.jl](https://github.com/JuliaDebug/Infiltrator.jl). If I ever wanted to share my package, these unnecessary packages would be shared too unless I manually deleted them from the Project.toml. [Pipenv](https://pipenv-fork.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basics.html#pipenv-install) (for Python) makes a distinction between “dev” dependencies only needed for development ([dev-packages] in the Pipfile), and strictly necessary dependencies needed for ru…
