Revise.jl is a Julia package that automatically updates function definitions in a running Julia session, so code edits, package updates, and git branch switches take effect without restarting the REPL. It avoids the overhead of reloading packages and re-JIT-compiling code after each change.

Use cases

  • edit Julia source code and see changes without restarting the REPL
  • switch git branches mid-session and keep working
  • update packages without losing the running Julia session
  • reduce JIT recompilation time during iterative development
  • keep debugger source views in sync with edited files

When to choose

  • you do iterative Julia development from the REPL or an editor
  • your Julia startup and package load times are slow and disruptive
  • you want editor-agnostic hot reloading in Julia

When to avoid

  • you are not working in Julia
  • you need hot reloading for a deployed production service rather than interactive development
