The Julia Package system maintains various loci of state for each package. The ones I can think of off the top of my head are
- the General registry on GitHub
- the user’s local copy of the General registry in .julia/registries/General
- user registries both locally and on GitHub
- local copies of each package under .julia/packages
- packages in .julia/dev
- the Project.toml and Manifest.toml file in each local package directory
There re various functions and commands in Pkg. It would be helpful if there were documentation describing the purpose/use of each of thes loci and how the various functions and commands alter this state.
Is there such documentation? Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks.
