dub-init - Man Page

dub init [<directory> [<dependency>...]] Options... [-- <application arguments...>]

Initializes an empty package of the specified type in the given directory.

By default, the current working directory is used.

Custom templates can be defined by packages by providing a sub-package called "init-exec". No default source files are added in this case.

The "init-exec" sub-package is compiled and executed inside the destination folder after the base project directory has been created.

Free arguments "dub init -t custom -- free args" are passed into the "init-exec" sub-package as app arguments.
