BaseBenchmarks.jl not in registry?

When I try to add this package, I get the following error:

(v1.3) pkg> add BaseBenchmarks
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
 * BaseBenchmarks (not found in project, manifest or registry)
Please specify by known `name=uuid`.

I was hoping to benchmark some Julia code on a new PC I just built. Any ideas as to what’s going on here?

You can always add https://github.com/JuliaCI/BaseBenchmarks.jl without using a registry.

(BaseBenchmarks.jl is mainly used for performance-regression testing in the development of Julia itself, via Nanosoldier; it is not a package that most people will want to install themselves.)

If you want to benchmark your own code, I would recommend the BenchmarkTools package (which is registered).
