For a long time I have wanted to be able to browse the packages in my registries directly from the REPL, so I built this tool to do this.

The latest stable version is able to display all package information that is locally available for uninstalled packages. This includes name, UUID, URL, versions, dependencies and compatibiity constraints. This version is in the general registry and more info is available at [GitHub - GHTaarn/RegistryBrowser.jl: Interactively browse packages in a Julia registry](https://github.com/GHTaarn/RegistryBrowser.jl)

For those that also wish to view the last `git` commit and `README.md` files of the individual packages, I am currently working on this and you can install an experimental (but usable) version with

```julia
using Pkg
pkg"add https://github.com/GHTaarn/RegistryBrowser.jl#dev"

```

Very nice to see so many people interested in this 👍 I have now released version 0.2.0 in which one can see the latest `git` commit and `README.md`.

Install from scratch with

```julia
using Pkg
pkg"add RegistryBrowser"

```

or upgrade with

```julia
using Pkg
pkg"update RegistryBrowser"

```

Enjoy
