Clean Project
$ flutter clean && flutter pub get
try on your machine

The command flutter clean && flutter pub get is used in the Flutter framework to clean the project and retrieve its dependencies.

Here's a breakdown of what each part of the command does:

  1. flutter clean: This command clears the build files and artifacts generated by the Flutter build system. It removes the 'build' directory within the project, so the next build starts from a clean slate. This can help in resolving some build-related issues.

  2. &&: It is a bash operator that executes the command following it only if the previous command is successful. In this case, the flutter clean command needs to finish successfully before the next command executes.

  3. flutter pub get: This command is used to retrieve the dependencies specified in the pubspec.yaml file (located in the root directory of the Flutter project). It downloads and installs the required packages from the Dart package repository (pub.dev). These dependencies are necessary for the project to function correctly.

By combining these two commands with &&, the developer ensures that the project is cleaned and prepared for a fresh build, and the latest dependencies are retrieved and installed before recompiling the application. This can help avoid issues caused by outdated or conflicting dependencies.

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.
