💅 DUB-ADD-OVERRIDE(1) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the dub-add-override page — that's the one, manual name The D Language Foundation, and it does exactly one thing: adds a new package override ✨

🦋 NAME 🦋

dub-add-override — literally just adds a new package override. that's the whole job. 💁‍♀️

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dub add-override <package> <version-spec> <target-path/target-version>
OPTIONS...

so you give it a package, a version-spec, and then a target-path/target-version (yes both slashes, she contains multitudes 💅), and then any OPTIONS... you want. slay.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

⚠️ heads up bestie, this command is deprecated. like, it still exists, but it's giving "my mom still has a MySpace." 😭

so instead of using this, the manual says to use a path based dependency, a custom cache path, or to literally just edit dub.selections.json — those all achieve the same results. no cap. 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --system — register it system-wide instead of user-wide. so like, for everyone, not just for you. main character energy but make it global 👑

💜 COMMON OPTIONS 💜

  • see dub(1) for the shared stuff — that's where the group-chat lore lives 🧚

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

  • 0 — DUB succeeded. we ate. 🍓
  • 1 — usage errors, unknown command line flags. oops, typo era 🙈
  • 2 — package not found, package failed to load, or miscellaneous error. it's giving chaos 💀

🌈 FILES 🌈

  • dub.sdl, dub.json — the iconic duo 👯‍♀️
