Topic: Recommended workflows for LocalRegistry

I am trying to set up my personal registry and from the README it seems that I would really like to use PkgDev.jl. Has anyone ever been able to make PkgDev work with a LocalRegistry that they host at they personal github profile? There seem to be some implicit assumptions made in PkgDev which give me hard time here; some combination of :

PkgDev assumes that you have a fork or the registry rather than being the owner (https://github.com/JuliaLang/PkgDev.jl/issues/185)
PkgDev assumes supports does not like the fact that I'm using SSH (https://github.com/JuliaLang/PkgDev.jl/issues/188)

Are there any known workarounds? Any best tips for maintaining a personal registry without a lot of extra effort w.r.t. tagging, publishing etc? Or is PkgDev simply not meant to be used with local registries?

Which README are you referring to? The LocalRegistry package does not make any assumptions about forks or transport protocols. My workflow to register a new version is

$ julia --project
julia> using LocalRegistry
julia> register()

with the assumptions that I have bumped the version in Project.toml by hand and that my current directory is in my package. It won't help you with making a git tag until a solution for https://github.com/GunnarFarneback/LocalRegistry.jl/issues/6 has been implemented though.
