[LocalRegistry](https://github.com/GunnarFarneback/LocalRegistry.jl) lets you create and maintain local registries for Julia packages.

Version 0.4.0 is a breaking release.

#### Breaking Changes

- The `push` keyword argument to `register` now defaults to `true`.

- The `registry` argument to `register` is now a keyword argument  
instead of a positional argument.

#### New Features

- The `registry` argument to `register` can be omitted also for new  
packages if you have exactly one registry installed beside  
`General`.

- If you have an activated package, either by `julia --project` or  
`Pkg.activate()`, you can just use `register()` without arguments.

#### Summary for New Users

To create a new registry:

```julia-auto
using LocalRegistry
create_registry(name, repository_url)

```

To register a new package or a new version of an existing package:

```julia-auto
using LocalRegistry
register(package)

```

This assumes that the package is developed and that `Project.toml` is  
updated with a new version number. See the [README](https://github.com/GunnarFarneback/LocalRegistry.jl/blob/master/README.md) and the docstrings for details.
