Package reference

A package reference is the name of a package, usually alongside a version. It can be used to resolve a local or remote package.

Example: package-name@version

The version may be one of the following options:

The latest tag

This resolves the latest published version, including pre-releases.

This is identical to using the latest tag.

Example: com.my.package

A specific version
