A CLI tool that allows you to create a new rust project in a temporary directory with already installed dependencies.
Requires Rust 1.51.
cargo install cargo-temp
Create a new temporary project:
With no additional dependencies:
$ cargo-temp
With multiple dependencies:
$ cargo-temp rand tokio
With a dependency that have a fixed version:
$ cargo-temp anyhow==1.0.13
You can add repositories to your Cargo.toml.
Examples:
HTTP
$ cargo-temp anyhow=https://github.com/dtolnay/anyhow.git
SSH
$ cargo-temp anyhow=ssh://git@github.com/dtolnay/anyhow.git
This will add the repository on the default branch by default. You can choose another branch or a revision:
Branch
$ cargo-temp anyhow=https://github.com/dtolnay/anyhow.git#branch=master
Revision
$ cargo-temp anyhow=https://github.com/dtolnay/anyhow.git#rev=7e0f77a38
If you change your mind and decide to keep the project you can just delete the
TO_DELETE file and the directory will not be deleted when the shell or the
editor exits.
The config file is located at {CONFIG_DIR}/cargo-temp/config.toml.
When you run cargo-temp for the first time it will be created automatically.
We use the XDG system for both Linux and OSX
and the Know Folder system on Windows.
The path where the temporary projects are created. Set on the cache directory by default.
temporary_project_dir = "/home/name/.cache/cargo-temp/"
Cargo's target directory override.
This setting is unset by default and will be ignored if the CARGO_TARGET_DIR
environment variable is already set.
temporary_project_dir = "/home/name/repos/tmp"
You can use editor to start an IDE instead of a shell
and editor_args to provide its arguments. These settings are unset by default.
Example to run VS Code on Unix
toml
editor = "/usr/bin/code"
editor_args = [ "--wait", "--new-window" ]
Example to run VS Code on Windows
toml
editor = "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft VS Code\\Code.exe"
editor_args = [ "--wait", "--new-window" ]
