Is there an equivalent function for `Pkg.clone(url::String, name::String)` in Julia 1.0 that can be used to add an unregistered package to a project/package .toml. To be cloned automatically in new environment, using `Pkg.clone(url::String, name::String)` adds the local .julia/dev/… to the manifest.  
My use case is bitbucket only uses lower case names in the url. Therefore, I specify the name explicitly.  
eg. `Pkg.clone("..../mypackage.jl.git", "MyPackage")`  
Currently Pkg.add uses `mypackage` for the package name instead of `MyPackage` .

Ok, after scratching around a bit in the Pkg source I found a way that will work for now:

```julia
using Pkg
cnt = Pkg.Types.Context()
cnt.old_pkg2_clone_name = "PackageName"
Pkg.add(cnt,[PackageSpec(url="https://.../.../packagename.jl.git")])

```

I’m sure there must be a better way, but this seems to work.

Are you looking for

```julia
pkg> activate path_to_package
pkg> dev path_or_url_to_dependency

```

?

See [the manual](https://julialang.github.io/Pkg.jl/dev/managing-packages/#Adding-unregistered-packages-1).

No, not exactly. If you use `dev url_to_dependency`, the case is still wrong for existing julia 0.6 packages.  
I just saw if you manually update the name field in the Project.toml file in the package it works as expected with just `add url_to_dependency`.

So the workflow that works for me:

- get existing julia 0.6 packages with `Pkg.clone("..../mypackage.jl.git", "MyPackage")`
- update packages to julia 1.0
- add .toml files use name = “MyPackage”  
The next time the package is added with `add url_to_dependency`, the name folder name is correct and the package is found.
