Pub or Flutter Repositories

Pub is Dart's package manager and the standard way to retrieve, manage, and publish packages for Dart and Flutter projects. The dart pub tool also supports third-party package repositories, which makes it possible to route package consumption and publication through Nexus instead of connecting directly to public sources.

Nexus Repository provides proxy, hosted and group repository support for Pub or Flutter packages. This support is available in both Community Edition and Pro.
