NAME

       dub-init - Initializes an empty package skeleton

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       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.
