I also found

```julia
shell> cd to/my/package/directory
pkg> init
pkg> add Dependency1
pkg> add Dependency2

```

very useful when converting existing packages. That’s basically all it took. (@ExpandingMan [wrote a tool](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/a-quick-and-dirty-tool-for-generating-project-toml/11375) for this.)

I am finding the transition to v0.7 rather smooth.
