NAME
       dub-init - Initializes an empty package skeleton

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

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.

       "init-exec" sub-package as app arguments.
