About:
cargo-dist is a tool that builds distributable artifacts for Rust projects. It simplifies the release process by compiling your project for multiple platforms and packaging the results into archives. It can also handle uploading these artifacts to new GitHub releases automatically.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform compilation and packaging
  • Automated GitHub release creation and artifact uploads
  • Support for installers (shell, PowerShell, npm)
  • Integration with CI/CD workflows
Use Cases:
  • Automating the release process for Rust CLI applications
  • Distributing pre-compiled binaries for multiple operating systems
  • Creating professional installers for open source projects
Alternatives:
  • cross – Focuses on cross-compilation but lacks release publishing features
  • cargo-bundle – macOS-specific bundling, less focused on multi-platform CI/CD
