cargo diet is a companion program of The Lean Crate Initiative to help computing 'optimal' include directives for your Cargo.toml manifest. 'optimal' here is the smallest size a crate can have while retaining everything relevant to building the code and populating crates.io and lib.rs with useful information on the landing page.

Please note that this opinionated approach won't prevent you to adjust the initial include directive to your liking and needs, without cargo diet interfering with you on subsequent invocations.

Usage

• make the crate lean by editing the Cargo.toml file in place

  • cargo diet

• simulate how the Cargo.toml file would be edited to obtain a lean crate

  • cargo diet -n or cargo diet --dry-run

• force computing an include directive even though one exists already

  • cargo diet -r or cargo diet --reset-manifest
  • can also be used with --dry-run such as in cargo diet --reset-manifest --dry-run or cargo diet -rn
