Draft (WIP)

Package for faster prototyping without widespread implications for your Julia default installation.

• Activates a temporary project when the module is loaded.
• Enables offline mode when the module is loaded for a faster package adding. Locally installed packages will be reused.
• Provides a macro to load and install a package: @reuse PackageA or @reuse PackageA PackageB.
• Output of @reuse can be suppressed by calling Draft.silent(). Undo with Draft.silent(false).
• Provides a function to switch back to online mode: Draft.online().
• Provides a function to save the temporary Project.toml file to a target location: save_environment(target_dir).
