About:
cargo-run-bin is a tool that manages and runs project-specific Rust binaries directly from your Cargo.toml file. It downloads, caches, and executes binaries without requiring global installation via cargo install. This ensures version consistency across team members and CI environments while keeping your global namespace clean.
Key Features:
  • Version pinning and management via Cargo.toml
  • Automatic binary caching and downloading
  • No global installation required
  • Cross-platform support
  • CI/CD friendly
Use Cases:
  • Managing development tools like cargo-watch or cargo-tarpaulin per-project
  • Ensuring consistent tool versions across development teams
  • Running specific binary versions in CI pipelines without global installs
Alternatives:
  • cargo install – Globally installs binaries, can cause version conflicts between projects
  • cargo binstall – Pre-built binary installation but doesn't manage per-project versions from Cargo.toml
