BestieTemplate.jl is a template for creating packages following opinionated package development practices, first presented at JuliaCon 2024. This time, I'll talk about what has changed since then and try to attract some collaborators by talking about the process of adding a new question.
I will present updates to BestieTemplate.jl since JuliaCon 2024, including:
- Strictness levels Tiny, Light, Moderate, Robust;
new_pkg_quickfor non-interactive package creation;- Better UX for application to existing packages;
- New additions such as TestItem-based testing, and dependabot.
I will also talk about the process of creating a new question, explaining a bit the inner workings of the package and of copier.
