dubproxy is a library and cli to efficently use private dub 
packages and mirror
code.dlang.org, all without a private registry.
It is a standalone library/cli and is completely transparent for 
dub.



Sometimes a dub project needs access to private library.
Subpackages are one solution, but getting dub to correctly work 
with subpackages
is not always easy.
Therefor, it is sometimes desirable to complete split out 
subpackages into there
own dub project.
Dubproxy allows to do that.
One of dubproxy's features is to take local/remote dub projects, 
located in a
git, and insert them into ~/.dub/packages such that dub thinks 
its just another
package from code.dlang.org.



Code.dlang.org is not always accessible, but a still might be 
required right
now.
Maybe you are on a flight to dconf or code.dlang.org is down.
Dubproxy allows you to get a storable list of all packages and 
upstream urls.
This list can then be used by dubproxy to get a particular 
package or
package-version.
You need internet access of course.
As time of writing this Aug. 2019 all gits of all package of 
code.dlang.org
require about 6.5 GB of space.



1. Get dubproxy(cli)
```sh
$ dub fetch dubproxy
$ dub run dubproxy
```

2. put dubproxy in your path or use `$ dub run dubproxy --`
3. get list of code.dlang.org packages
```sh
$ dubproxy -m -n codedlangorg.json
```

4. get a package from a dubproxyfile
```sh
$ dubproxy -i codedlangorg.json -g xlsxd
```
By default dubproxy will try to place the git in system default 
dub directory.

5. get a package and place the git a user specified directory
```sh
$ dubproxy -i codeldangorg.json -g xlsxreader -f GitCloneFolder
$ dubproxy -i codeldangorg.json -g xlsxreader:v0.6.1 -f 
GitCloneFolder
```

6. place the dub package in a user specified directory
```sh
$ dubproxy -i codeldangorg.json -g graphqld -o SomePackageFolder
```

7. get multiple packages
```sh
$ dubproxy -i codeldangorg.json -g graphqld -g inifiled
```

8. get all packages in a file (run before long flight)
```sh
$ dubproxy -i codeldangorg.json -a -u
```

The `-u` is necessary to disable user interaction, because some 
listed packages
on code.dlang.org do not exist anymore and github.com therefore 
askeds for a
username password combination.

9. dub is not in your path
```sh
$ dubproxy -d path_to_dub
```

10. git is not in your path
```sh
$ dubproxy -p path_to_git
```

11. generate a dummy dubproxy.json file with filename 
myPrivateProjects.json
```sh
$ dubproxy --dummy --dummyPath myPrivateProjects.json
```

12. get help
```sh
$ dubproxy -h
```

This sounds super useful for those of use stuck with path-based 
dependencies. Easier than self-hosting a DUB registry probably?

As side remark, in addition to self-hosting a Dub registry in the 
meantime you can also use a Maven repository (artifactory/nexus) 
or just use a local folder/network folder (using Dub file system 
provider).

Ok, we should add some more info to Dub help page explaining the 
different repository providers (dub/maven/file system).

Kind regards
