dub-fetch - Man Page

dub fetch <package>[@<version-spec>] Options...

When run with one or more arguments, regardless of the location it is run in,

it will fetch the packages matching the argument(s).

Examples:

$ dub fetch vibe-d

$ dub fetch vibe-d@v0.9.0 --cache=local --recursive

When run in a project with no arguments, it will fetch all dependencies for that project.

If the project doesn't have set dependencies (no 'dub.selections.json'), it will also perform dependency resolution.

Example:

$ cd myProject && dub fetch

Note that the 'build', 'run', and any other command that need packages will automatically perform fetch,

hence it is not generally necessary to run this command before any other.

-r,  --recursive

Also fetches dependencies of specified packages

--version=VALUE

Use the specified version/branch instead of the latest available match The remove command also accepts "*" here as a wildcard to remove all versions of the package from the specified location

--force-remove
