I am confused about creating a package for Pkg3 and how to git it.

In the [docs](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Pkg/#Creating-your-own-packages-1), the `HelloWorld` package is created. I understood that the convention was `HelloWorld.jl`.

Moreover, no git repo is automatically created for that package. Should all the content of the project be `git`ted?

The `.jl` is only the name on packages on GitHub/Lab, internally and in the file system they are just called `HelloWorld` (look at some packages in you `.julia` folder).

And yes you have to git them manually.
