Julia Revise (Hot-Reload)

Hot-reload Julia code changes using Revise.jl — the key to maximizing REPL session lifespan.

Arguments

No argument: triggers revise(action="revise") to pick up all file changes

track <path>: starts tracking a file with Revise

includet <path>: includes a file with Revise tracking

status: shows what Revise is tracking

Instructions

Parse the user's argument to determine the action and optional path

Call revise with the appropriate action and path parameters

If Revise is not available, offer to install it:

pkg(action="add", packages="Revise")
Then reset to reload (Revise loads automatically on worker startup)

Revise Workflow

Revise.jl enables iterative development without losing session state:

Edit Julia source files (using Claude's Edit/Write tools)

Call revise(action="revise") to pick up changes

Continue working — all variables, data, and packages are preserved

This eliminates the most common reason for using reset.

When to Use Revise vs Reset

Situation	Use Revise	Use Reset
Changed function body	Yes	No
Added new function	Yes	No
Modified method signature	Yes	No
Changed struct layout (Julia < 1.12)	No	Yes
Corrupted session state	No	Yes
Want clean slate	No	Yes
Changed const value	Sometimes	If needed

Tips

Revise.jl is auto-loaded on worker startup if installed in the environment

After pkg(action="develop", packages="./MyPkg"), Revise automatically tracks the package source

Use includet("file.jl") (via eval) instead of include("file.jl") for standalone scripts — it enables hot-reloading

Call revise(action="status") to see what files and packages Revise is watching
