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, if you follow a symlink in the packages directory and modify a package, this affects the canonical copy of that package in the system cache. The pub cache repair command performs a clean reinstall of all hosted and git packages in the system cache.
