NAME
       dub-fetch - Explicitly retrieves and caches packages

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

DESCRIPTION
       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.

       --force-remove
           Deprecated option that does nothing
