Synopsis
dub init [<directory> [<dependency>...]] Options... [-- <application arguments...>]
Description
Initializes an empty package of the specified type in the given directory.
By default, the current working directory is used.
Custom templates can be defined by packages by providing a sub-package called "init-exec". No default source files are added in this case.
The "init-exec" sub-package is compiled and executed inside the destination folder after the base project directory has been created.
Free arguments "dub init -t custom -- free args" are passed into the "init-exec" sub-package as app arguments.
