I have followed the instructions to register my package using Registrator.jl  
I face an error in the last step of the Automerge.run  
I have also added CompatHelper.jl to my repo.  
Need some help to figure out what’s going wrong.

Github Repo Link: [https://github.com/r0cketr1kky/Dogsay.jl](https://github.com/r0cketr1kky/Dogsay.jl)

Error faced:-

Info: Compat (with upper bound) for all dependencies  
│ meets\_this\_guideline = false

└ message = “The following dependencies do not have a compat entry that has an upper bound: julia. You may find [CompatHelper](https://github.com/bcbi/CompatHelper.jl) helpful for keeping your compat entries up-to-date.”

ERROR: The automerge guidelines were not met.

See the guidelines here:

[https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/RegistryCI.jl#automatic-merging-guidelines](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/RegistryCI.jl#automatic-merging-guidelines)

Specifically, you need `[compat]` upper bounds:
