cargo edit
This tool extends Cargo to allow you to add, remove, and upgrade dependencies by modifying your Cargo.toml file from the command line.

Fork Version
This is a cargo-edit 0.9 backport for bumping git2 for API compatibility reasons.
See: https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit/issues/837
The original and current repository can be found at: killercurp/cargo-edit
In the long term this dependency is expected to disappear and be merged into cargo.
Contribution
Thanks for your interest - we gratefully welcome contributions.
Questions can be asked in issues, or on Gitter.
To help us help you get pull requests merged quickly and smoothly, open an issue before submitted large changes. Please keep the contents of pull requests and commits short. Commit messages should include the intent of the commit.
cargo-edit has a moderately comprehensive test suite. Contributions that add/improve tests are awesome. Please add tests for every change.
cargo-edit uses rustfmt for formatting and clippy for linting.

Installation
Ensure that you have a fairly recent version of rust/cargo installed. On Ubuntu you would also need to install libssl-dev and pkg-config packages.
$ cargo install cargo-edit
If you wish to use a bundled version of openssl:
$ cargo install cargo-edit --features vendored-openssl
Compiler support: requires rustc 1.44+
(Please check cargo's documentation to learn how cargo install works and how to set up your system so it finds binaries installed by cargo.)
Install a sub-set of the commands with cargo install -f --no-default-features --features "<COMMANDS>", where <COMMANDS> is a space-separated list of commands; i.e. add rm upgrade for the full set.
Available Subcommands
cargo add
Add new dependencies to your Cargo.toml. When no version is specified, cargo add will try to query the latest version's number from crates.io.
Examples
$ # Add a specific version
$ cargo add regex@0.1.41 --dev
$ # Query the latest version from crates.io and adds it as build dependency
$ cargo add gcc --build
$ # Add a non-crates.io crate
$ cargo add local_experiment --path=lib/trial-and-error/
$ # Add a non-crates.io crate; the crate name will be found automatically
$ cargo add lib/trial-and-error/
$ # Add a crates.io crate with a local development path
$ cargo add my_helper --vers=1.3.1 --path=lib/my-helper/
$ # Add a renamed dependency
$ cargo add thiserror --rename error
Usage
$ cargo-add add -h
cargo-add [..]
Add dependencies to a Cargo.toml manifest file
USAGE:
cargo add [OPTIONS] <DEP>[@<VERSION>] [+<FEATURE>,...] ...
cargo add [OPTIONS] <DEP_PATH> [+<FEATURE>,...] ...
ARGS:
<DEP_ID>... Reference to a package to add as a dependency
OPTIONS:
--no-default-features Disable the default features

-r, --rename <RENAME> Rename the dependency
--registry <REGISTRY> Package registry for this dependency
--manifest-path <PATH> Path to `Cargo.toml`
-p, --package <PKGID> Package to modify
--offline Run without accessing the network
--dry-run Don't actually write the manifest
--quiet Do not print any output in case of success
-h, --help Print help information
-V, --version Print version information
SECTION:
-D, --dev Add as development dependency
-B, --build Add as build dependency
--target <TARGET> Add as dependency to the given target platform
UNSTABLE:
-Z <FLAG> Unstable (nightly-only) flags [possible values: git, inline-add]
--git <URI> Git repository location
--branch <BRANCH> Git branch to download the crate from
--tag <TAG> Git tag to download the crate from
--rev <REV> Git reference to download the crate from
Examples:
$ cargo add regex --build
$ cargo add trycmd --dev
$ cargo add ./crate/parser/
$ cargo add serde +derive serde_json
cargo rm
Remove dependencies from your Cargo.toml.
Examples
$ # Remove a dependency
$ cargo rm regex
$ # Remove a development dependency
$ cargo rm regex --dev
$ # Remove a build dependency
$ cargo rm regex --build
Usage
$ cargo-rm rm --help
cargo-rm [..]
Remove a dependency from a Cargo.toml manifest file
USAGE:
cargo rm [OPTIONS] <CRATE>...
ARGS:
<CRATE>... Crates to be removed
OPTIONS:
-B, --build Remove crate as build dependency
-D, --dev Remove crate as development dependency
-h, --help Print help information
--manifest-path <PATH> Path to the manifest to remove a dependency from
-p, --package <PKGID> Package id of the crate to remove this dependency from
-q, --quiet Do not print any output in case of success
-V, --version Print version information
-Z <FLAG> Unstable (nightly-only) flags
cargo upgrade
Upgrade dependencies in your Cargo.toml to their latest versions.
To specify a version to upgrade to, provide the dependencies in the <crate name>@<version> format,
e.g. cargo upgrade docopt@~0.9.0 serde@>=0.9,<2.0.
This command differs from cargo update, which updates the dependency versions recorded in the
local lock file (Cargo.lock).
Examples
# Upgrade all dependencies for the current crate
$ cargo upgrade
# Upgrade docopt (to ~0.9) and serde (to >=0.9,<2.0)
$ cargo upgrade docopt@~0.9 serde@>=0.9,<2.0
# Upgrade regex (to the latest version) across all crates in the workspace
$ cargo upgrade regex --workspace
# Upgrade all dependencies except docopt and serde
$ cargo upgrade --exclude docopt serde
Usage
$ cargo-upgrade upgrade --help
cargo-upgrade [..]
Upgrade dependencies as specified in the local manifest file (i.e. Cargo.toml)
USAGE:
cargo upgrade [OPTIONS] [DEPENDENCY]...
ARGS:
<DEPENDENCY>... Crates to be upgraded
OPTIONS:
--all [deprecated in favor of `--workspace`]
--allow-prerelease Include prerelease versions when fetching from crates.io (e.g.
0.6.0-alpha')
--dry-run Print changes to be made without making them
--exclude <EXCLUDE> Crates to exclude and not upgrade
-h, --help Print help information
--manifest-path <PATH> Path to the manifest to upgrade
--offline Run without accessing the network
-p, --package <PKGID> Package id of the crate to add this dependency to
--skip-compatible Only update a dependency if the new version is semver incompatible
--to-lockfile Upgrade all packages to the version in the lockfile
-V, --version Print version information
--workspace Upgrade all packages in the workspace
-Z <FLAG> Unstable (nightly-only) flags [possible values:
preserve-precision]
This command differs from `cargo update`, which updates the dependency versions recorded in the
local lock file (Cargo.lock).
If `<dependency>`(s) are provided, only the specified dependencies will be upgraded. The version to
upgrade to for each can be specified with e.g. `docopt@0.8.0` or `serde@>=0.9,<2.0`.
Dev, build, and all target dependencies will also be upgraded. Only dependencies from crates.io are
supported. Git/path dependencies will be ignored.
All packages in the workspace will be upgraded if the `--workspace` flag is supplied. The
`--workspace` flag may be supplied in the presence of a virtual manifest.
If the '--to-lockfile' flag is supplied, all dependencies will be upgraded to the currently locked
version as recorded in the Cargo.lock file. This flag requires that the Cargo.lock file is
up-to-date. If the lock file is missing, or it needs to be updated, cargo-upgrade will exit with an
error. If the '--to-lockfile' flag is supplied then the network won't be accessed.
cargo set-version
Set the version in your Cargo.toml.
Examples
# Set the version to the version 1.0.0
$ cargo set-version 1.0.0
# Bump the version to the next major
$ cargo set-version --bump major
# Bump version to the next minor
$ cargo set-version --bump minor
# Bump version to the next patch
$ cargo set-version --bump patch
Usage
$ cargo-set-version set-version --help
cargo-set-version [..]

--bump <BUMP> Increment manifest version [possible values: major, minor, patch,
release, rc, beta, alpha]
