cargo-example is an easy-to-use example runner for rust crates.

About

cargo-example aims to provide a simple interface to running examples of any valid rust crate. Currently there is no short way to do this. In order to run examples you'll always have to manually clone or download the repository of the crate whose examples you wish to run.
For newcomers to the rust language the --example feature of cargo run might even remain completely unknown for quite some time.
This crate aims to simplify this process. All the messy cloning is abstracted away from the end user.

Usage

1. Run cargo install cargo-example
2. Run any examples with cargo example <crate> ...args

• <crate> is the target crate whose examples you wish to run
• args is a list of arguments that will be forwarded to the example

In development

Just use cargo run example <crate> ...args. It has to be done this way due to the way that
