My preferred spell to summon julia is this: julia --project=. -O0 -t auto what is yours?

jp which is an alias for julia --startup=no --project=..

With jl, which is an alias for ‘bin/run_julia’. In my projects/ packages, I always have a bash script run_julia that determines the Julia version and parameters depending on the machine, the presence of a custom system image, and the git branch.

I have jsn for julia --startup-file=no and j for julia --project

python3 -c "import shutil,subprocess; j=shutil.which('julia'); subprocess.run(['bash','-lc', f'\"{j}\"'])"

A tab in Windows terminal (have similar for a couple of other Julia versions) C:\programs\Julia-1.10\bin\julia.exe --threads=auto

alias juliaR=‘julia -Eq -O3 --check-bounds=no --startup-file=no --history-file=no’ Or just julia

How do you start julia?
