Command to easily maintain rust dependencies with command line

#rust

Cargo edit

Cargo edit extends cargo by adding the following subcommands.
As you can guess by their names, the subcommands modify Cargo.toml from the command line.

  • cargo add
  • cargo rm
  • cargo upgrade

Install

$ cargo install cargo-edit

cargo add 

$ cargo add image
Updating 'https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index' index
Adding image v0.23.14 to dependencies

$ cat Cargo.toml                                                                                                          [dependencies]
image = "0.23.14"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Add dependencies with a specific version.

$ cargo add image --vers=0.20                                                                                                  Updating 'https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index' index
