Thanks a lot for your answers.

> For unregistered packages, I would suggest creating a registry and your colleagues only need to [add that registry](https://julialang.github.io/Pkg.jl/v1.1/registries/#Managing-registries-1). And you can find many other discussions [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/creating-a-registry/12094/14) and [on Registrator.jl](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/Registrator.jl/issues/39)

I never looked into registries. I will see how hard that is.

> Yes, only local. Unless you commit and push your changes to github…

I’m sorry, I’m not sure if I fully understand. Can you give some more details?

> The tag info will appear in Manifest.toml but not Project.toml.

Yes indeed. I just saw that. But the tags in Manifest.toml seems to be stuck on 0.1.0.  
Somehow for my unregistered package I cannot do [https://github/omerchiers/MyPackage.jl@v0.2](https://github/omerchiers/MyPackage.jl@v0.2)  
I have to put the commit SHA1 even though I pushed my tags to github.

thanks again for your time.  
Olivier
