cargo cook
A third-party cargo extension to allow you to cook your crate.
Assuming you already have Rust and cargo set up.
Clone this repository and go into the created directory:
git clone https://github.com/vityafx/cargo-cook.git
cd cargo-cook
And compile a release version:
cargo build --release
You should now have an executable in [starting directory]/cargo-cook/target/release/cargo-cook.
Compile the code as shown in the previous section, then put the cargo-cook executable in your PATH.
My favorite way of doing this is I have a pre-existing directory in ~/bin that contains little scripts of mine, that dir is added to my PATH in my .bashrc so that it's always available, and then I symlink the release version from where it exists to that directory:
ln -s [starting directory]/cargo-cook/target/release/cargo-cook ~/bin/
Once you've done that, because of the way cargo is set up to use third party extensions, in any other Rust project of yours, you should be able to run:
cargo cook
and that crate will be cooked.
If you'd like to work on your own version of the code, fork this repo and follow the compiling steps above except with your fork.
One weird thing if you're running the binary directly instead of through the cargo plugin system is that clap doesn't think you're using a subcommand. If you try, you'll get:
$ ./target/release/cargo-cook whatever
error: Found argument 'whatever', but cargo wasn't expecting any
USAGE:
cargo <SUBCOMMAND>
For more information try --help
To get around this, either follow the Installation and Usage instructions above and always use cargo cook whatever or re-specify cook as the subcommand:
./target/release/cargo-cook cook whatever
