What is the difference in dependencies and dev_dependencies in a pubspec.yaml? It seems that when I run pub get the dev_dependencies aren't downloaded.

dev_dependencies are dependencies that are not available for code in the resulting application, but only for tests, examples, tools, or to add executable tools like for code generation to your project.
A dependency is a library that a project needs to function effectively. DevDependencies are the packages a developer needs during development.
A dependency is another package that your package needs in order to work. Dependencies are specified in your pubspec. You list only immediate dependencies—the software that your package uses directly. Pub handles transitive dependencies for you.
dev_dependencies are dependencies that are not available for code in the resulting application, but only for tests, examples, tools, or to add executable tools like for code generation to your project.
dev_dependencies of any dependencies in your project (dependencies or dev_dependencies) are always ignored when you publish to pub.dev.
