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:
See the cargo-generate guide for complete documentation.
One place to find templates is to look for the cargo-generate topic on GitHub.
cargo install cargo-generate# 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
