ArtifactUtils
Provides the function
add_artifact!
,
which makes it easy for Julia projects to ship their own tarballs as
Artifacts.
Example
This will download the JuliaMono font from GitHub as a tarball and create a corresponding
Artifacts.toml
file in the current directory. It allows any Julia code in that directory
to access these files with the artifact"..."
string macro.
