I have made a workspace and inside a package. I want to share this to another developer. What are the minimum steps I should tell this developer in order to be able to use the package without hassle?

There is a tutorial for releasing a ROS package if you want to actually release it as a Debian (which is the most work for you as a developer, but the least work for an end user).

Otherwise, you can simply push the package to a GitHub repo (make sure you specify a License for the code and have a LICENSE file). I'd also recommend making sure that you have a README which details how to use the package and why the package exists. It would also be good to specify in the README which ROS distributions the package should work with.
