**ShareAdd.jl v2.6** is out, with the new macro `@usinghere`.

This macro activates an environment in the directory of the current script (or its parent directory if the script is located within a `src` folder) and automatically adds any missing packages to that environment before importing them. This is specifically useful when writing standalone scripts that should self-manage their dependencies.

The addition has been inspired by [this discussion](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-quickenv-jl-environment-manager/137486) and packages cited therein.
