cargo edit

This tool extends Cargo to allow you to add, remove, and upgrade dependencies by modifying your Cargo.toml file from the command line.

Currently available subcommands:

cargo upgrade
cargo set-version

Installation

Ensure that you have a fairly recent version of rust/cargo installed. On Ubuntu you would also need to install libssl-dev and pkg-config packages.

$ cargo install cargo-edit

Compiler support: requires rustc 1.44+

(Please check cargo's documentation to learn how cargo install works and how to set up your system so it finds binaries installed by cargo.)

Install a sub-set of the commands with cargo install -f --no-default-features --features "<COMMANDS>", where <COMMANDS> is a space-separated list of commands; i.e. add rm upgrade for the full set.

Available Subcommands

`cargo add`

cargo add is now integrated into cargo as of v1.62. If you want access in older versions of cargo, you'll need to install cargo-edit v0.9 or earlier.

Known differences from cargo-edit v0.9.1

cargo add <path> is unsupported, instead use cargo add --path <path>
cargo add <crate> +<feature> is unsupported, instead use cargo add <crate> -F <feature>
- If adding multiple crates, qualify the feature like cargo add serde -F serde/derive serde_json
- See rust-lang/cargo#10809

`cargo rm`

cargo rm is now integrated into cargo as of v1.66. If you want access in older versions of cargo, you'll need to install cargo-edit v0.11 or earlier.

`cargo upgrade`

Upgrade dependencies in your Cargo.toml to their latest versions.

To specify a version to upgrade to, provide the dependencies in the <crate name>@<version> format, e.g. cargo upgrade -p docopt@~0.9.0 -p serde@>=0.9,<2.0.

This command differs from cargo update, which updates the dependency versions recorded in the local lock file (Cargo.lock).

Examples

# Upgrade all dependencies for the current crate
$ cargo upgrade
# Upgrade docopt (to ~0.9) and serde (to >=0.9,<2.0)
$ cargo upgrade -p docopt@~0.9 -p serde@>=0.9,<2.0
# Upgrade all dependencies except docopt and serde
$ cargo upgrade --exclude docopt --exclude serde
