Julia Activate

Activate a Julia project or environment for the current session.

Arguments

• path - Path to project directory, "." for current directory, or named environment like "@v1.10"

Instructions

1. Parse the user's argument to determine the path:

   • If no argument or ".", activate the current working directory
   • If a path is given, use that path
   • If starts with "@", it's a named environment

2. Call activate with the path

3. After activation, offer to run pkg(action="instantiate") to install dependencies if the project has a Project.toml

Examples

/julia:julia-activate .
/julia:julia-activate /path/to/MyProject
/julia:julia-activate @v1.10

Notes

• Activating a project changes where packages are installed/loaded from
• Use pkg(action="instantiate") after activation to install dependencies
• The activated environment persists across reset calls
• Use info to see the currently active project
