cargo clone

A Cargo subcommand to clone a repository from the (crates.io)[https://crates.io/] index.

Installation

cargo install cargo-clone-crate

Usage

By default it will attempt to guess if the package uses git, Mercurial, or other version control systems.

cargo clone bitflags

If it can't determine which to use, you can force it manually:

cargo clone --method=fossil rs-graph graph.fossil

You can also download the crate file directly from crates.io:

cargo clone --method=crate bitflags

The crate method can also take a version to fetch a specific version:

cargo clone --method=crate bitflags:=1.0.1
