cargo-interactive-update

Update your direct dependencies interactively to the latest version via crates.io, similar to pnpm update --interactive --latest from the JS ecosystem.

Installation

Install the cargo extension by installing it from crates.io:

cargo install cargo-interactive-update

Usage

Run the cargo extension:

cargo interactive-update

It will then parse the Cargo.toml file to get the direct dependencies and check them via the crates.io API.

It extracts dependencies from the dependencies, dev-dependencies, build-dependencies and workspace.dependencies sections and updates only the related sections.

If there are outdated dependencies, it will display them and let you select which ones to update, similar to the following:

7 out of the 10 direct dependencies are outdated
