Make your Julia package in 10 minutes

Oh! How do you look at pageviews?

I use Google Analytics for that, but any other similar service will do. You just need to own the web page to put Google Analytics on it.

Thanks, this is a very useful page! I created my first package with these instructions.

I’m very glad for this!

Most likely, our custom packages will have dependencies. Could you also add instructions for adding a dependency, and how to update Project.toml and Manifest.toml accordingly?

Added to the post, please check it out.

Additionally, if you want to show-off your shiny new package to others, how would you ensure that the package compiles only once and doesn’t recompile every time? AFAIK it does not re-compile if Manifest.toml stays the same. But this info would be very important from day-to-day use of our package.

Manifest.toml shouldn’t be manually edited. I think you are right about re-compiling, but I’d need confirmation for that info from someone more experienced. If someone is up to it, they could actually write a post about compiling in Julia.
Edit: for anyone wondering about the same issue, there is a thread about it: Is it correct that it recompiles packages every time a new REPL is opened?.
