I have a local package which I created from a template. The template repo already had a UUID in the project.toml file. I now need to generate a new UUID for the package but don't necessarily need to create a whole package from scratch, just the UUID. Do I still need to use PackageTemplates.jl and then copy and paste the UUID or is there a function for this? I tried the suggestion here: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-give-a-valid-uuid-to-an-existing-package-and-how-to-desactivate-an-environment/19236 but that is out of date now.
How to create a UUID for a Julia Package?

Julia code for generating packages (Method Pkg.generate) at generate.jl reads:
uuid = UUIDs.uuid4()
So the correct method seems to be:
julia> using UUIDs
julia> UUIDs.uuid4()
UUID("268e34f8-cc7d-4112-bf3a-0d45b12e3d15")
