It’s a bit … complicated per se. I’m still very used to a MATLAB-kind of workflow where if I needed to I could just point the program to look at a certain directory that stores relevant codes.

So, for example in this case, ClimateTools and SatPrecip are different packages. But in the end, I still would want SatPrecip to be able to use some functions from the ClimateTools package, because ClimateTools is a general set of personal-developed functions that can be used for a variety of purposes while SatPrecip is meant for the download and plotting of specific datasets. But I am developing ClimateTools at the same time while I am developing SatPrecip.

In this case, what sort of workflow should I use?
