> cargo, make me a project

`cargo-generate` is a developer tool to help you get up and running quickly with a new Rust
project by leveraging a pre-existing git repository as a template.

Here's an example of using `cargo-generate` with [this template]:
![demo.gif](./demo.gif)

[this template]: https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-pack-template

## Documentation

See the `cargo-generate` [guide](https://cargo-generate.github.io/cargo-generate/index.html) for complete documentation.

## Templates

One place to find templates is to look for the [cargo-generate topic](https://github.com/topics/cargo-generate) on
GitHub.

## Quickstart

### Installation

```sh
cargo install cargo-generate
```

or if you have [no time, use cargo-binstall](https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall):

```sh
cargo binstall cargo-generate
```

### Usage

```sh
# templates on github
cargo generate --git https://github.com/username-on-github/mytemplate.git

# or just
cargo generate username-on-github/mytemplate

# templates on other git platforms
cargo generate gl:username-on-gitlab/mytemplate # translates to https://gitlab.com/username-on-gitlab/mytemplate.git
cargo generate bb:username-on-bitbucket/mytemplate # translates to https://bitbucket.org/username-on-bitbucket/mytemplate.git
cargo generate sr:username-on-sourcehut/mytemplate # translates to https://git.sr.ht/~username-on-sourcehut/mytemplate (note the tilde)

# this scheme is also available for github
cargo generate gh:username-on-github/mytemplate # translates to https://github.com/username-on-github/mytemplate.git

# for a complete list of arguments and options
cargo help generate
```
