A simple tool to build, cache, and run binaries scoped in Cargo.toml
rather than installing globally. This acts similarly to npm run
and gomodrun
.
Disclaimer: This tool was built out of wanting a missing piece in the Rust development experience when initially learning the language, and is not likely to be optimal or feature complete just yet.
Installation
cargo install cargo-run-bin
Usage
- Add your binary dependency to your
Cargo.toml
like any dependency
cargo add --dev cross
If you don't wish to include cross
in your Cargo.lock
, you can also do the following in Cargo.toml
:
[package.metadata.bin]
cross = "0.2.4"
- Run your desired command prefixed with
cargo bin
. Note first runs will build your binary silently first before executing, all future runs will be instant.
cargo bin cross --help
- Update your .gitignore to exclude the cached binaries.
echo ".bin/" >> .gitignore
