[pre-ANN] StartYourPk - GUI for PkgTemplates

StartYourPk.jl is intended to to help (especially beginner) developers with using projects and creating packages.

The package is not yet registered, but you are invited to test it - nothing bad should happen :grinning:.

If anybody comes with a better package name, it is not too late yet.


Now a general question (for the package documentation, not yet written): It is commonly recommended not to work in the “main” environment, but use separate projects (i.e. a folder with Project.toml. While I see the use of it, I prefer to start a (possibly throwaway) package right from the beginning instead of a project. This gives me the important advantage of having all functions, which I place into the project’s module, Revise-ed. I do not see any disadvantages of such a procedure as compared to a bare project. Are there any?
