I believe that it would be good for all Julia getting started documents to show people about the activate . and not polluting their global environment.

Doing activate . can be risky. As it is not clear in what directory the user is when doing this command (and a new user might not understand its meaning).

Maybe better add a link to https://pkgdocs.julialang.org/v1/getting-started/ and comment that there the user can learn about package management?
