How can I import and display a local shapefile (.shp) into Google Earth Engine using EarthEngine.jl, is there a function for that?

Is you goal to plot those shapes in GE?  
GMT.jl can read shapefiles directly and the module [gmt2kml](https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/GMTjl_doc/documentation/modules/gmt2kml/index.html#gmt2kml) should be able to produce `kml` files, though I’ve not much experience using it.

Hi, I intend to do my plot here: [https://earthengine.google.com/](https://earthengine.google.com/)
