A good practice for reproducible research and code is to report the session information. I believe there should be a better and more complete solution especially relying on [Revise.jl](https://github.com/timholy/Revise.jl) and hopefully is something implemented in [Pkg3](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/pkg3-plan-and-status/9763). My patch up version is

```julia
using Pkg
function sessioninfo()
    println("Julia " * string(VERSION))
    for (key, version) ∈ sort(collect(Pkg.installed()))
        try
            isa(eval(Symbol(key)), Module) && println(key * " " * string(version))
        end
    end
end

```

The Pkg3 Manifest.toml file contains all packages for the project and what versions they are installed at. And if someone gives you a Project.toml + Manifest.toml you can “instantiate” that exact environment.
