Options

For options that apply to all pub commands, see Global options.

add <package>

Installs a library in your cache.

--all

Optional. Use with pub add to install all matching versions of a library.

--version <constraint>

Optional. Use with pub add to install the best version matching the specified constraint. For example:

$ pub cache add barback --version "<=0.8.0 <0.110"

If --version is omitted, pub installs the best of all known versions.

repair

It's possible for packages in your pub cache to change or break. For example, some editors make it easy to find implementation files for packages in the pub cache, and you might accidentally edit one of those files. The pub cache repair command performs a clean reinstall of all hosted and git packages in the system cache.
