Chit: Crate help in terminal

A command-line tool for looking up details about rust crates without going to crates.io.

Chit helps answer these questions:

  • Who wrote this crate? What else did they write?
  • What alternatives are there for this crate?
  • How old is this crate?
  • What versions are there? When did they come out?
  • What are the download numbers over time?
  • Should I use this crate?
  • How mature is it?

Roadmap:

(Would love Pull requests that build towards these objectives)

  • Tests
    • Versions
    • Owners
    • Crate details
  • Add a CI pipeline that runs the tests
  • Make a logo for chit
  • Add another command e.g. chit repo which might get meta data like stars and collaborator numbers etc
  • Change error handling to use result types
  • Use some more functional programming techniques to cut the code size down
  • distribute through brew, apt-get, etc...
  • expand the repository details returned by the repo command
