NAME

       dub-fetch - Manually retrieves and caches a package

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       Note:  Use  "dub  add  <dependency>" if you just want to use a certain package as a dependency, you don't
       have to explicitly fetch packages.

       Explicit retrieval/removal of packages is only needed when you want to put  packages  in  a  place  where
       several  applications  can  share  them. If you just have a dependency to add, use the `add` command. Dub
       will do the rest for you.

       Without specified options, placement/removal will default to a user wide shared location.

       Complete applications can be retrieved and run easily by e.g.

       $ dub fetch vibelog --cache=local

       $ dub run vibelog --cache=local

       This will grab all needed dependencies and compile and run the application.

OPTIONS

       --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
           Deprecated option that does nothing

   COMMON OPTIONS
