✨ bdep-fetch — the manual page ✨

okay so bestie, you're reading bdep-fetch(1) — that's the general commands manual for the bdep fetch command, and yes it is giving very much "let me get your dependency list together" energy 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

bdep-fetch — fetch list of available project dependencies

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bdep fetch [options] [--full|-F] [prj-spec] [cfg-spec]

cfg-spec = (@cfg-name | --config|-c cfg-dir)... | --all|-a
prj-spec = --directory|-d prj-dir

like. that's the whole shape of it. no cap.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The fetch command fetches the list of packages available in the project's prerequisite/complement repositories in one or more build configurations. ✨

If no project or package directory is specified, then the current working directory is assumed. If no configuration is specified, then the default configurations are assumed. See bdep-projects-configs(1) for details on specifying projects and configurations. 👑

If the --full|-F option is specified, then instead fetch performs a full re-fetch of all the repositories added to the configuration. This mode is primarily useful when a configuration (and some of the prerequisite/complement repositories) are shared between several projects. In this situation an incremental fetch may result in an inconsistent repository state. 😭 so like, if you're sharing configs between projects, please use --full, bestie, I am begging.

🎀 FETCH OPTIONS 🎀

  • --full|-F — Perform a full re-fetch of all the repositories.
  • --all|-a — Use all build configurations.
  • --config|-c dir — Specify the build configuration as a directory.
  • --directory|-d dir — Assume project/package is in the specified directory rather than in the current working directory.
  • --config-name|-n name — Specify the build configuration as a name.
  • --config-id num — Specify the build configuration as an id.

  • -V — Print all underlying commands being executed.
  • --quiet|-q — Run quietly, only printing error messages.

  • --stdout-format format — Representation format to use for printing to stdout.
  • --jobs|-j num — Number of jobs to perform in parallel.

  • --no-progress — Suppress progress indicators for long-lasting operations, such as network transfers, building, etc.
  • --diag-color — Use color in diagnostics.
  • --no-diag-color — Don't use color in diagnostics.
  • --bpkg path — The package manager program to be used for build configuration management.
  • --bpkg-option opt — Additional option to be passed to the package manager program.

🧚 DEFAULT OPTIONS FILES 🧚

See bdep-default-options-files(1) for an overview of the default options files. For the fetch command the search start directory is the project directory. The following options files are searched for in each directory and, if found, loaded in the order listed: 💜

bdep.options
bdep-fetch.options

The following fetch command options cannot be specified in the default options files:

--directory|-d
not me telling you that --directory|-d is banned from the options files 😭 it's giving "read the room, this one's command-line only".
