So I wanted to do some work on my registered package [RayTraceEllipsoid.jl](https://github.com/JuliaGeometry/RayTraceEllipsoid.jl), so I `]dev RayTraceEllipsoid` and realized that this was an old version from before the update to `v1.0`. But if I look at `master` online then it’s all updated. If I `git pull` in `.julia/dev/RayTraceEllipsoid` then it gets updated to the correct most recent version.

Why is `Pkg ` pulling an old commit? And how can I fix this issue?

There are tow possible scenarios:

1. You already had the package in `dev/RayTraceEllipsoid`. If that is the case then Pkg will simply point to the code that is there (so this might be an old version). When this happens Pkg prints a message along the lines of

```julia
[ Info: Path `dev/RayTraceEllipsoid` exists and looks like the correct package,
          using existing path instead of cloning

```

2. You are hitting [https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/465](https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/465) which you can probably fix by deleting `.julia/clones`.

Yap, it was solution #2 that fixed it for me.

Thanks you!
