NAME

bdep-fetch - fetch list of available project dependencies

SYNOPSIS

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

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.

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.

COMMON OPTIONS

The common options are summarized below with a more detailed description available in bdep-common-options(1).

-v: Print essential underlying commands being executed.
-V: Print all underlying commands being executed.

--stdout-format format: Representation format to use for printing to stdout.
--jobs|-j num: Number of jobs to perform in parallel.
--progress: Display progress indicators for long-lasting operations, such as network transfers, building, etc.
--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.
--build path: The build program to be used to build packages.

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
