Usage

$ cargo no-dev-deps --help
cargo-no-dev-deps

Cargo subcommand for running cargo without dev-dependencies.

USAGE:
    cargo no-dev-deps <CARGO_SUBCOMMAND> [OPTIONS] [CARGO_OPTIONS]

OPTIONS:
        --no-private    Perform without `publish = false` crates

CARGO_SUBCOMMANDS:
    build
    check
    ...

To run cargo check without dev-deps:

cargo no-dev-deps check

Note: cargo-no-dev-deps modifies Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock while running and restores it when finished. Any changes you made to those files during running will not be preserved.

If you want exclude publish = false crates, you can exclude these crates by using --no-private flag.

cargo no-dev-deps --no-private check

This flag is more powerful than cargo-hack's --ignore-private flag, because this also prevents private crates from affecting lockfile and metadata.

Installation

From source

cargo +stable install cargo-no-dev-deps --locked

cargo-no-dev-deps is usually runnable with Cargo versions older than the Rust version required for installation (e.g., cargo +1.59 no-dev-deps check).
