Rust Cargo
Introduction
Cargo is Rust's package manager, used to manage crates (Rust's term for libraries/packages). Cargo predominantly fetches packages from crates.io and can manage complex dependency trees with specific version requirements (using semantic versioning). Cargo can also help build, run and manage Rust projects with
cargo build, cargo run and cargo test (among other useful commands).
Syntax
- cargo new crate_name [--bin]
- cargo init [--bin]
- cargo build [--release]
- cargo run [--release]
- cargo check
- cargo test
- cargo bench
- cargo update
- cargo package
- cargo publish
- cargo [un]install binary_crate_name
- cargo search crate_name
- cargo version
- cargo login api_key
Remarks
- At the moment, the
cargo benchsubcommand requires the nightly version of the compiler to operate effectively.
