Add/remove/update Cargo.toml dependencies from the command line.

Pros:

  • Safe, probably works

Cons:

  • Lots of code
  • Lots of dependencies, some of which I haven't fully audited.
  • License ambiguity (is this MIT or Apache-2.0/MIT licensed?)

0.4.0

Add/remove/update Cargo.toml dependencies from the command line.

Pros:

  • Safe, probably works

Cons:

  • Lots of code
  • Lots of dependencies, some of which I haven't fully audited.
  • No Cargo.lock so not installable with --frozen
  • License ambiguity (is this MIT or Apache-2.0/MIT licensed?)

TIL

  • crates.io API string format
  • Refresher on format! placeholders
format!(
    "{host}/api/v1/crates/{crate_name}",
    host = REGISTRY_HOST,
    crate_name = crate_name
);

Lib.rs has been able to verify that all files in the crate's tarball are in the crate's repository with a git tag matching the version. Please note that this check is still in beta, and absence of this confirmation does not mean that the files don't match.

Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories, so there is a possibility that published crates have a misleading repository URL, or contain different code from the code in the repository.

To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open cargo-edit. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of cargo-edit v0.12.2 or view the source online.
