About:
cargo-cache is a command-line utility that inspects the local Cargo cache, providing detailed statistics on downloaded crates and registry indices. It helps developers understand disk usage and identify opportunities for cleanup. The tool also supports optional pruning to remove old or unused files, optimizing storage space.
Key Features:
  • Displays detailed cache statistics (crate sizes, download counts)
  • Supports optional cache pruning and cleanup
  • Fast, read-only inspection mode for quick analysis
  • Cross-platform support via Rust
Use Cases:
  • Diagnosing disk space issues caused by Rust project dependencies
  • Auditing crate downloads and cache contents for CI/CD optimization
  • Routine cache maintenance to improve system performance
Alternatives:
  • cargo clean – Built-in Cargo command that removes all build artifacts but lacks granular cache inspection or selective pruning.
  • du -sh ~/.cargo/registry – Basic disk usage check; provides no crate-level details or pruning features.
