💅 DUB-REMOVE-OVERRIDE(1) — the dub-remove-override page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is the manual page for dub-remove-override, straight out of The D Language Foundation's command-line docs. it's short, it's deprecated, and it's still here. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

dub-remove-override — literally just removes an existing package override. that's the whole gig. no cap. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dub remove-override <package> <version-spec> OPTIONS...

two positional args (<package> and <version-spec>), then whatever OPTIONS... you wanna throw at it. slay. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk bestie, this command is deprecated. like, it still exists, but it's giving "we don't really do this anymore" energy. 😭

the official word is: use path based dependency, custom cache path, or just edit dub.selections.json directly to achieve the same results. that's the glow-up path. the remove-override path is the nostalgia path. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --system — register system-wide instead of user-wide. so instead of it being just-your-user's little secret, it's for everybody on the machine. main character energy, shared with the whole system. 🌈

⭐ COMMON OPTIONS ⭐

see dub(1) for the shared option set — they live over there, not here. 💖

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

  • 0 — DUB succeeded. ate. 💅✨
  • 1 — usage errors, unknown command line flags. the "you typed something weird" zone. 🙈
  • 2 — package not found, package failed to load, miscellaneous error. the "it's not you it's the package" zone. 😭

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • dub.sdl
  • dub.json

these are the files involved, keep them in mind. 🧚

heads up bestie: this command is deprecated. if you're out here using it in new work, the docs are gently asking you to switch to path based dependency, custom cache path, or editing dub.selections.json by hand. no judgment, just facts. 💀
