Hello i’m new to Julia. I have a couple of questions. Is there a command to start a new project like cargo init (rust). So that it generates some files (Project.toml maybe?). If there is no such command maybe there is a template/skeleton i can use I would like to do logistic regression. In pyt…

Its recommended (even by the latest version of the Pkg docs) to use PkgTemplates to create your new project, rather than the minimal built in pkg> generate command. Because that will setup all the good things like the files required for CI and docs for you.

From GitHub - JuliaCI/PkgTemplates.jl: Create new Julia packages, the easy way NOTICE: This version is not yet released The current stable release is 0.6, you can find that version here . PkgTemplates has undergone large internal changes (see #61 especially), and at present the user-facing API is …

This is more of a question to those who responded than it is to the OP, but what about simply calling activate . from the package REPL? I still use this when I’m just creating a new folder for tinkering around. For the OP, this is done by pressing the ] key in the REPL. You should then see a prompt…

[image] mthelm85: what about simply calling activate . from the package REPL? This per se will not create a Project.toml file (at least when I test in 1.3, 1.4). Also, even though a Project.toml will be generated once you add packages, template generators take care of a lot of other things, …
