I would just [create an actual package](https://pkgdocs.julialang.org/v1/creating-packages/) (you don’t have to register it publicly); it’s the best way to organize and re-use any nontrivial amount of code in the long run. See also

[Create at least one package](https://pkgdocs.julialang.org/v1/creating-packages/) for any major project, so that you can benefit from the Julia pack…

(With your code in a package, [use Revise.jl](https://github.com/timholy/Revise.jl) — then your files will automatically be re-loaded as needed when you edit the files during development.)
