About:
cargo-edit is a command-line utility that allows developers to add, remove, and upgrade dependencies within a Cargo.toml file without manual editing. It automates the process of querying the crates.io registry and updating the manifest, significantly reducing errors and saving time. This tool is essential for maintaining modern Rust projects and streamlining the dependency management workflow.
Key Features:
  • Add dependencies from crates.io directly from the CLI
  • Upgrade dependencies to the latest compatible versions
  • Remove dependencies cleanly from Cargo.toml
  • Set and update package metadata like authors and version numbers
Use Cases:
  • Quickly adding a new library to a Rust project without looking up the exact version syntax
  • Bulk-updating outdated dependencies to keep a project secure and current
  • Automating dependency updates in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • cargo – The standard Rust package manager, but it lacks built-in commands for upgrading or removing dependencies, requiring manual file editing.
