Hello all,

I have a situation where I’m importing a package programatically by using `Pkg.develop(url=url_string)`, where `url_string` is a user input. I then need to find out what the name of the package is. The best I can think of here is finding the most recently added directory in the `JULIA_PKG_DEVDIR` folder and then having a look inside its `Project.toml`, but it certainly feels like there might be a better way. Could anyon please point me in the right direction?

Chris
