About:
cargo-udeps is a Cargo subcommand that analyzes your Rust project's dependency graph to identify unused dependencies declared in Cargo.toml. It leverages the Rust compiler's internal APIs to accurately track which crates are actually used during compilation. This helps developers maintain lean, efficient projects by removing unnecessary dependencies that bloat build times and binary size.
Key Features:
  • Accurate detection of unused dependencies via compiler analysis
  • Support for both normal and development dependencies
  • Integrates seamlessly as a Cargo subcommand
  • Provides actionable output for easy cleanup
Use Cases:
  • Cleaning up legacy Rust projects with many unused dependencies
  • Reducing CI build times by minimizing the dependency graph
  • Auditing Cargo.toml files before publishing a crate
Alternatives:
  • cargo-deps – Generates dependency graphs but does not detect unused packages.
  • Manual auditing – Checking Cargo.toml against source code is error-prone and misses transitive uses.
