dart: Download dependencies for the current project.
$ dart pub get
try on your machine

The command "dart pub get" is used to retrieve the dependencies for a Dart project. It is typically run to fetch and download the necessary packages specified in the "pubspec.yaml" file.

Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "dart": This signifies that the subsequent command is for the Dart programming language.
  • "pub": It is the package manager for Dart, allowing users to fetch and manage external packages.
  • "get": This specific sub-command is used to download the dependencies specified in the "pubspec.yaml" file for the project.

When you run "dart pub get" in the root directory of a Dart project, Dart's package manager, "pub", reads the "pubspec.yaml" file, which lists the dependencies needed for the project. It then fetches and downloads these dependencies from the package repository, making them available for use in the project.

The downloaded packages are typically stored in a directory called "packages" within the project directory. Once the dependencies are fetched and available, you can import and use them in your Dart code.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
